Hello General, This is my first post as i just like reading your comments. I am a massive fan of Aston Villa and although i live 150 miles away in Skegness i usually get to about 8 games a season. It is with terrible circumstances i am messaging you. I live in the seaside resort of Skegness and play for skegness town fc. As a youngster i was part of Villa's academy and went on to be a yts with Sheffield Wednesday. Tragically three weeks ago, At skegness town fc we lost one of our most influential players to a terrible accident in Maine USA Adam Baxter Aged 19. He was on a football scholarship at maine university and was named in the American all east team of the year. Up until this season he was one of our most consistent and talented players. He left us to pursue his dream in the USA. This tragedy has put the whole town of Skegness in shock. We have lost one of the towns brightest talents in years. My manager has been in contact with every single premiership club as Adams parents have set up a memorial fund for him. We are having a memorial day at our home game on sat 29th dec. Many clubs have responded in a positive manner donating many gifts that can be auctioned off or won in a raffle, most notably Derby County and Reading FC whom have donated fantastic gifts. When my manager contacted Aston Villa he was told by a lovely lady that he should be ok getting something for the auction and was given a number to ring.. Upon ringing this number he didn't get an answer but recieved a letter in the post saying that My Beloved Aston Villa couldn't do a thing to help. This has disgusted me that a massive and much loved premiership team couldnt do a thing to help. I think that this is incredibly sad and an very disheartened by this, i know that this is not your fault but thought that i should bring this to your attention. Many thanks to yourself and Randy for turning my beloved Aston Villa into a force once again. Thankyou General Nathan Hancock
