    VILLA LEGEND- Scored SO MANY against The Blues- They hated him!!! lol
    He was a good player, who scored some important valuable goals in his career and was also capped by England a few times. Anyone who says he was sh*t either is a sad Bluenose or they know F.A. about Football.
    He was never a prolific goal scorer but I tell you now- In his prime, every defender in the top flight was worried about his pace. One of the top 3 fastest. if not the fastest EVER!!!

    Things happen everywhere and I wouldn't say more things happen in Birmingham or in Aston more than other places I understand there may be agendas behind things.
    Villa Park is in Aston areas that surround Aston are Perry Barr, Handsworth, Great Barr, Erdington, Lozells there are good people from these areas too.
    Sutton Coldfield with its royal status and Solihull which wants to be its own city and not be connected to Birmingham which are areas that are not near to villa Park.

Everywhere else I'd steer clear of and a lot of these are some way out of Brum.
