That's a wonderful piece of writing exigo!
Well done mate and be proud.
Strikes a strong chord because of the family connections etc...Uncle Frank was born in Aston and two of his three boys, Frank Jnr and Amos, also played for The Villa and were born in the same house as their Dad! We lived round the corner, so saw them regularly, especially at family functions. It goes without saying that the whole family was Villa. I was christened at St Peter and St Paul's and attended my first away game, making my own way, when I was 14. I was hooked! It's in the blood. Just got off the phone with my 90 year old cousin John, who could hardly control his absolute delight in what The Villa have achieved in the last few weeks.
Thank you so much for putting my feelings, and so many of us, into the words that I could only dream of.
