Each season when the fixtures are released, I always browse down the page to look for Aston Villa at home. There isn’t any particular reason why but I enjoy our games against the Villains. The only explanation I have for it is that I always remember going on a Stadium tour when I was younger and I got to see the fantastic painting of a game between Villa and Sunderland in the main reception of the SOL, which was produced by Thomas Hemy in the late 1800’s. In its entirety it captures everything that I love about being a football fan - I love the history that comes with supporting Sunderland and I suppose that I am also a little bit envious that I have never sampled what football was like years and years ago. |
