Its gods will he is alive

...God gave us life

So that we could take sweets
Off strange men in big cars
And get driven to the woods
To stroke non-existent puppies

But he also gave us Una Stubbs
And he also gave us Little and Large
And he also gave us Keith Harris
And he also gave us Wendy Craig
And he also gave us Thora Hird
And he also gave us Matthew Kelly
And he also gave us Eartha Kitt
And he also gave us Lionel Blair...

I can't read or hear the words 'Lionel Blair' without smirking.

The old Harry Hill show? That's what I always think of.

"The experts expert on Give Us A Clue, was Lionel Blair. Who can ever forget opposing team captain Una Stubbs sitting open mouthed as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes!"

I miss Humphrey Littleton :(

'Give Us A Clue certainly provided many memorable moment as the players performed against a strict time limit. We particular recall one very early show when Una Stubbs scored maximum points after the teams took only a few seconds to recognise her Fanny By Gaslight.'

I love this clip, largely down to the Thames television trailer before the opening sequence.

 

Anyhoo, back to Stan... the effect of having this man in the dressing room must be immense. To see his pride in pulling on a Villa shirt surely must have an influence on the likes of Ayew, Adama and Amavi. Be interesting to see if he gets much game time in pre season.

On the drive to work this morning I found myself thinking about the potential first time we see Petrov's name on a team sheet this season. It's safe to say I will absolutely lose my marbles and it's fairly likely I'll get his name on my new home shirt.

Captain for second half.  Looks as though he may well have a few pound to lose but nothing that a couple more weeks pre season can't fix. Fantastic to see him back.

And of course he gave us the Len Ganley stance.

Somebody could make a movie about this guy!  Premier League footballer has life threatening illness, four years of heartache and recovery, then makes first team return.  Simply incredible from the man.   One step at a time, but can you imagine if he scored in front of the holte in a competative game again?  Wow, I really would cry.  Good on you Stan.
