Actually all my class at school supported the Villa except one B'ham City supporter who we treated with ridicule. My dad, at 90 has always been a Baggies supporter though- triumph of hope over experience. His solution to the decline in English footballl is simple(!):no more foreign players, bring back the maximum wage (Jimmy Hill should have been hung drawn and quareterd!), make baggy shorts, centre partings and Brylcreem compulsory!
