WillatheVillaGorilla is next up for the Vital Villa interviews.
1 – How long have you been a Villa fan and how did you first get the Claret & Blue faith?
Since birth, my Mum’s side of the family are Villa and Walsall(!). My Dad is a cockney and supports the team that nicked our kit… ‘My old man is a Hammers fan, I said boll…. …. . …’!
2 – What was your first game?
West Ham v Villa, my old man took me when I was 8 to try and make me support the ‘Ammers, he tried to seduce me with Cottee and MacAvenie but we beat them 2-1, so i suppose i’m a bit of a glory supporter as I supported Villa because they won!
3 – What is your most memorable moment as a Villa fan?
Hmmmm… too many, taking the daughter to her first game at Derby last season, winning 6-0, relegating Coventry 3-2 and Angel scoring his first goal, sitting in the West Ham end but right next to our away fans in both quarter finals of the league cup when Southgate missed the penalty and we lost, but then we got a replay and Ian Taylor scored in extra time to seal the win, and then beating Chelsea 2-0 this season and the feeling we could do something special at last…
4 – And the worst moment?
Losing the Fa Cup at Wembley, a nice family day out and the last ever game at the old Wembley, ruined by James and Di Matteo, losing 2-1 to the Blues and Dublin and Gudjohnson getting sent off, one of the only times i’ve left early and angry!! Oh, and every time i go to Old Trafford.
5 – Who are your favourite current Villa players?
Ashley Young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 – Which former player/s are your ultimate heroes?
Paul Merson
7 – Which player do you think was the worst to ever put on the team colours?
Didier Agathe – great signing Martin!!
8 – What is the best goal you have seen Villa score and which is your favourite game?
Merson against Everton in the last minute, 30 yard lob to win 1-0, Gabby’s against Chelsea to seal the 2-0 win, Petrov at Derby
Best game, relegating Coventry 3-2, 2-0 down at half time, coming back to win 3-2, Angel scoring his first goal, VP celebrated that goal for about 10 minutes!! And then Merson topped it off!!! And we relegated them! happy days!! Winning 2-1 at Blues last year, and getting my picture celebrating the second goal in the Evening Mail
