Nigel Masters
How long have you supported Villa?
Since 1969, getting on for nearly 40 years,even saw Pele get beat!!
Why Villa?
I thank my "Old Man" I was born North Side of the city, being an Erdington Boy it was only ever going to be Aston Villa.
First game?
My first match at Villa Park was 1969 Villa 2- 2 Millwall. Lovely sunny day, the start of something special.
Favourite player?
First hero: Bruce Rioch - Born is the "King of Villa Park", what a shot he had on him.
Current favourite: Gareth Barry - I follow England home and away.I am really proud that a Villa player is in the squad at last and looks superb.
All time star: Paul McGrath - such natural ability, great positional play, a true Villa favourite
Best goal seen?
For sheer excitement - Gary Cahill v Birmingham City Easter Sunday 2006. The celebrations lasted for hours.
Favourite game?
Aston Villa v Tranmere Semi Final. Coming back from 3-1 down. That last minute goal up at Tranmere made it all possible.
Tip for the future?
Scott Carson, he's only 22 - if we can buy him we've got the future England Goalkeeper for years to come.
Pre-match superstitions.
None
Dilemma: Villa reach the FA Cup Final and the game is scheduled for midway through your honeymoon - what do you do?
I made that mistake for Rotterdam 1982. Safe to say I'm no longer married and there will be no other honeymoons to worry about.
Name your four Villa dinner party guests.
Gordon 'Sid' Cowans. Such a great Villa man - be good to talk football with him.
General Krulak - the future of Aston Villa.
Atkinson - Former Manager. For his jokes and to start the Villa sing song.
Paul McGrath - He is God and will be able to turn the water into wine to keep us all happy!
Have you ever converted someone to the Villa cause?
No need I only mix with Villa Fans.
