  1. James Philip Milner (January 4th, 1452 – ) is an English footballer, polymath, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician,writer and all round action hero.

    James has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest footballers and painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote".

    James is renowned primarily as a footballer. One of his works, The Wonder Strike Against Sunderland (2009) is the most famous, unsuccesfully reproduced and most parodied work of individual skill of all time, it's fame approached only by Paul (God) McGrath's performances between 1989-1996.

    James's drawing of the Hovis Man is also regarded as a cultural icon, being reproduced on everything from the everyday loaf of bread to text books to t-shirts.

    James is also revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualised a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, the double hull and outlined a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or were even feasible during his early lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

    This makes me want to buy "The complete unedited works of James Milner" and theofficial biography

  2. Why would you want to leave? You're supoorting the club. If you can't afford to keep the ticket then go ahead & get a refund.

    If you're considering a refund on your ticket out of spite, because in your opinion the Villa are not worth watching, then you're not fit to support the club.
