when I was about 5, my best mate was a lad named Gary, who was about 8, and lived next door. One day, when I called for him, he said I wasnt allowed in his house unless I was a Villa Fan. I had genuinely never heard of any football team, in fact, when he asked me who I supported, I said England. Anyway, I wanted to go in his house to play, coz he had one of them grandstand games with the bat and ball that you played on the telly. So I agreed to support Villa. Been stuck with em ever since.
