Send your pictures and stories of why you love Villa
On Monday, we asked you to tell us why you fell in love with Aston Villa and some of your favourite moments supporting have already been getting in touch with your photos and stories and here is just a taste from Prit:"I was born in Aston, lived the other side from Villa Park and Aston Villa meant everything to me. I used to mind cars on Frederick Road and used to run to the Holte End 20 minutes before the end so me and a bunch of small skinny kids could sneak in. I would then run back to collect my 10p for minding the car."My father took my brother and myself to our first ever match at Villa Park (August 1970) vs Plymouth in the old Division Three. I was so young that I thought we were watching Celtic in the green and white hoops. I was hooked!"Lots of great memories. Seeing Santos and Pele play during the three-day week, Johan Cruyff bringing his Barcelona team in the Uefa Cup and the legendary match against West Bromwich Albion in 1981 when Peter Withe scored in the 88th minute to effectively win us the Division One title."So join the conversation and send your best photos about why you love the first visit to the stadium? A special kit? An amazing away trip?Send us your pictures and stories
