This week, we are asking you to share your stories and photos for why you fell in love with Aston is a selection of your submissions: Tony: My grandad supported Villa as a kid. He came from India in 1929 and moved to Aston where he met my gran. My first game was in 1974 against Swansea and I have so many personal memories. I have really good European games and am up to 75 different grounds with Villa over the years. I have met so many lovely people on my travels and some have become my best friends. The best game was the 5-1 win against Liverpool while the worst was the 6-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. My favourite player was Martin Laursen. Send us your pictures and stories here

🎥 Aston Villa cult hero signs OTD in 2004 😍
Martin Laursen arrived at Aston Villa in 2004 with an impressive list of honours. The tough-tackling Danish centre-back joined the Villans after a successful spell in Italy, where he won the Serie B title with Hellas Verona and lifted the Serie A title and Coppa Italia with Milan. Although Laursen took time to find his feet in the Premier League due to a spell of injuries and patchy form, he soon developed into a cult hero with the Midlands club. During a five-year spell, the former Denmark international made 91 appearances and captained the club throughout the 2008/09 season. 🎥 Martin Laursen ❤️️#Laursen40 #PartOfThePride #AVFC — Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) July 26, 2017 What is your favourite Laursen moment with Villa? 📸 Laurence Griffiths - 2005 Getty Images
