Perfectly timed for Villa's St Patrick's Day collection. Maybe the club could do a tie-in...

Trying to remember if you got to interview Eamonn Deacy for your Champions book - it's in my bookcase in Ireland but if memory serves, was there a chapter about each player?

I did, there was and he was everything that everyone ever says about him.

I always considered us the "Irish" club of Birmingham, mainly because of my old man and his Irish mates, all of whom followed us despite living in the People's Republic Of Sheldon.

I'm fact I've never never met anyone from Ireland in the City that follows the Rags, I'm sure there are but it doesn't stop me saying "there is no such thing as an Irish Bluenose" on a regular basis.

Good luck with the book Dave.
Sure I have seen the Irish flag at Birmingham games, his parents disowned him/ her I would imagine

Does it include a map of how far away from Ireland most of them were born?
Thought Aston was Irish back in the day
