My Dad Tony (Anthony Head) died 3rd July funeral was Monday. He took me to first few Villa games under Graham Taylor I think Sheff Wednesday in League cup might have been our first proper game and we always stood left side Holte End by the floodlights back then. I do remember Brendan Batson testimonial a few years before when we stood with the Albion fan's and I had my Villa scarf on wondering what the commotion was ! We went all over country together in early days and as he worked for British Rail spent many a time in railway clubs pre match which i think he enjoyed more than the games. We also both worked as stewards together for a few years in the late 90s. We carried on going for the next few decades intermittently as I'd moved and his health meant it was easier for him to watch at home. I'm sure he'll be roaring us on though from above, as ever lamenting another year without the F. A Cup ! Miss you Dad x Ian
