    I heard this news nearly two weeks ago from a good friend of mine who played with Sid🥲. I got to know Sid quite well through my mate.  Best memory was when I was at a barbecue at Kenny Swain’s place.  Sid was on great form with some brilliant stories from his career!  I won’t repeat them on here except one.  Saunders used to put his arm around Sid and my mate on Monday mornings and ask if they were ok!  Wasn’t to check if they were ok but to see if he could smell alcohol on their breath🤣🤣🤣.  Sid was a class act and I’ll never forget or forgive that dirty animal that done his leg😡😡😡. Sid and McMahon would have been some pairing that season!

    I can remember Keith Leonard saying something similar. If Saunders called the players together you could tell the ones that had been drinking, they'd be down tying their bootlaces! 

    Bumped into Sid and his son Henry about a year ago now and it was a bit of a shock to see him TBH. I've seen a lot of Dementia and Alzheimer's over the years, both my parents had it and the wife's parents too, but to see someone with it who's only 2 years older than me was an eye opener. 

    All the best to him and his family.

    Coventry couldn’t afford the rent so were kicked out.

    Not quite as simple as that, but kind of the gist. SISU tried a few tricks with the council and the Alan Higgs charity, who owned the training ground and they backfired, hence they ended up playing at Northampton Town and their club shop was a caravan. Hilarious times all round.

    The Norwegian FA are being accused of stealing the design for their new kid from a Norwegian club side called Hamar. They got a point.

    De nya norska tröjorna. Se Hamars fotbollströjor i Instagram-inlägget längst ner.3bdf7b96-6e96-4942-a59f-1bfa883d5326?fit=crop&format=auto&h=485&q=50&w=765&s=07d579d9dcd638c15fc616a9a1d6d9e9c5962dfe

    Norway kit look pretty nice tbf.

    Could use this as a template for a Villa shirt featuring all the different clarets and blues we've suffered over the years.

    Having not watched a non Villa cup game, domestically or in Europe for many, many years, I couldnt care less about it. Once Villa go out of a tournament, its over as far as Im concerned.

    Man City will probably win the treble again, much to the delight of a couple of VT posters who swoon over them for some bizarre reason.

    That aside, Coventry really despise us, so they aren't any better a winner than the scum 6. 

    Plus Man United will batter them anyway.

    Hopefully.

    Joe Joyce looked absolute chronic v's Kash Ali.

    Liam Davis though looks the real deal though. What a class finish from the youngster.

    Joyce should change his nickname to The Robot Vacuum Cleaner.
