mjmooney Posted July 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2019 Consider this an 'Old Boys Association'. How many of us on VT today were subscribers to the Villa mailing list in the 90s? I know there was me, NIVillan and BOF, for starters, but there surely must be more. Declare yourselves, and let us know if you've changed your ID name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yes - I was. I was the poster that never rated savo - and spent endless hours typing about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withnail Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I was there. Didn’t say anything then and still don’t say a lot now. I remember a Malcom who was a little grumpy. Norm was a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT used to get slated, it had a sort of mythical reputation for knee jerk reactions, slagging off everyone and everything and meltdowns...so I thought it was right up my street.

That's the trouble - people using different names, I don't realise who's here under a different one. 11 minutes ago, LancsVillan said: ah Malc (RIP) , everyone had run ins with him, even his reflection. Mr Crandle was indeed lovely. Still catch Katie on FB. Malcolm Everall, wasn't it? Is Norm still alive? Yeah, I'm still in FB contact with Kate (aka Nanook), John Kreeger (Blitz), Donna Jackson (Ra Kilt), Tsvet, Trond Hagenes, Ian Robathan, Rad Popovic and Naz (you're on here, I think!) And there was Christian Jahnsen (set up a very early Villa website), Mark Quinn, the Legendary Michael David Ault, Steve Pennycooke... I'm forgetting loads of others... We even had a football team: Edited July 9, 2019 by mjmooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted July 9, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2019 Some cracking memories drift to the surface looking at those names, some are one here for sure. Had to laugh to note you missed out Alan in Japan and Paul Pants Johnson I looked for an archive as there used to be one but I guess Simon ( @limpid ) finally killed that off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was FB friends with Paul Johnson, but when I posted some mildly anti-royal family joke, he called me a word removed and unfriended me. Bizarre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
