Also when the trinity used to stamp their feet on the wooden floor used to get the whole place rockin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That was sung during BFR's reign. I don't know why it died out. Also I believe there was actually a song recorded called, "Ooh Ahh Paul McGrath", which made the charts in Ireland, if not no.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a bit ashamed to have to ask. The Dougal was a group of lads who met up in the old Parisian pub in the city center, most of them came from the Erdington/Sutton areas and some of us From Northfield/Weoley Castle areas. It started when 2 of the lads from different areas started to fight each other which was quickly broke up and after a chat found out we were all Villa fans, We agreed to meet up at the Aston Tavern the next match, around 20 of us which eventually grew to around a hundred if everyone turned up. we went to every game home and away in the old 3rd div days and back in the 2nd then 1st divisions. The Dougal was well known around the country in those days mainly due to Gary Hadden RIP, who left our mark where ever we went. We featured couple of times on the front page of the News of The World and also with another group on lads started the balloon craze, and the V shaped legs in the air which also make the nationals. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicVillan Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I can't remember which match it was but one of the home games in what I figure must be the 90-91 season, and before the players came out a black & white cat suddenly appeared pitchside and ran and up the touch line. After about 30 seconds the the Holte end started chanting " Cats-carino , Cats-carino ! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never knew which Carew would turn up. Had real charisma. Edited February 14, 2017 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those days, the early 70`s till early 80`s were without doubt the best time to support the Villa, Sadly I know a lot of us are now Holte Enders in the Sky, myself (Mickey Price) and Keith Bryenton who the lyrics for Hole Enders in the Sky still sit on the Lowe Holte End, so if any of you old uns could come and see us in row CC134, we love to see you as we are trying to arrange a Dougal Mob reunion, the likes of Jinksy, Reggae Ray, Mickey Standbridge, Foxy, Goldie, Bobby Haywood Steve Elmer, were are you UTV. Haha....takes me back.....they were great time to be a fan, I could write a book. I too used to knock around with Bobby and Jake too....ask them for a rendition of the " box of toys" chant we used to sing in the Aero club adjacent to Birmingham Airport....Andy G used to be there too. Foxy still is a pal, apart from his crap jokes. Edited February 14, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I think that singing empty seats m'lord at the away fans in a half empty Villa Park followed by Shit Support M'lord when it's the first song we've sung in half an hour is hilarious. Not in a good way but in a manic, embarrassed, nervous laugh in the face of the horror of it all kind of way wishing to god it would stop.
