“Aston Villa is a rite of passage for any football fan in this country – claret-supporting or otherwise. I love Villa Park as a venue and the atmosphere that the old ground can still conjure is magical: the last time I went, Philippe Coutinho was brought off the bench for his debut for Villa, with the crowd inspiring a comeback from two down to grab a draw with Manchester United. My tip is that if you’re driving, watch out for that inevitable traffic if you’re coming off the M6. Sounds basic but plenty fall victim.”
