Heroes and Villains - More Memries of Villa

Thanks grafikhaus another great read and love the amount of effort that you put into these. Top man!

On a similar point Roygbiv , did you ever read what the Villa fans thought of Steve Bruce moving to swillsborough? Sacked in October and hired in December by the Wendy? Can see this ending (hoping anyway) in a similar fashion to his previous outing

My sample of one was pissing himsen laughing. Said Cabbage would spend loads of money on players that he’ll never play, then demand more money.

He's sure to fit in nicely over there then

The majority of Villa fans have nothing good to say about Bruce. They made a lot of comments about him being obsessed with money and thought the reason he didn't join Wednesday straight away was due to the compensation he was owed by Villa.

I seem to remember us beating Villa 2-1 at the Lane around mid 70's. If my youthful memory serves me right Chico Hamilton nodded in the winner at the Kop end.......... think we still got relegated from Div. 1 that season ???

Woodward and Guthrie scored our goals in the 2-1 win in February 1976. It was our second league win of that season! Chico didnt join us until summer 1976

Derek 'Doc' Pace. Got him from Villa in late 50's. Scored 140 goals in 253 games for us including a hat trick away v Villa in Feb 1960.

He scored a hat trick for Villa against us in April 1956 too! We lost 3-2

I see it’s likely that UK 10m springboard champion is likely to return , I really don’t get the lad as he obviously has talent but fuck me he goes down easier than lino , one of the highlights of that supreme performance at The Lane was Lunny hitting the driver in ankle socks with a proper tackle , what goes around comes around

He's been ruled out apparently. Likely to return against Stoke on 23rd.

Remember it well. On the old open Witton Lane end.

That’s a plus IB wonder if their gonna get Tom Daley or Jack Cousteau on a short term deal to fill the void ?
