Passed away on the 9th April (his mothers birth and death day weirdly coincidentally) from heart failure aged 86. He first took me down the Villa to see us beat Torquay United 5-1 and cemented a love of Aston Villa deep in my heart. My deepest regret is that he never got to see the wall tile I bought for him on his last birthday but it will always be a memorial to him at the ground that we both dearly love.
Rest in peace dad. Up The Villa :'(
