After a brave 5 and a half year battle with cancer my Dad passed away tonight. Having been with him during his final two weeks in hospital, he had insisted that I go to the match, but sadly I got a call at the ground to say that he had gone.
If there is/was a bigger fan of the game of football, I have never met them. Originally from Birmingham and a Blues fan, he has lived here for the last 54 years and was an adopted Stokie, therefore a fitting last fixture for his adopted team to beat the old enemy.
Thanks to everyone who has given support and kind messages in particular over the last couple of weeks.
Sleep peacefully Dad xxx.

Really horrible news, I hate hearing stuff like that. I never really know what to say but I always feel like I want to, so all I can say really is "fuck off Villa" and "sleep well mate". All the best to your family MC mate.

Sincere condolences to you and your family Matt. It's hard to find words of comfort in times like this.
As you've already said about your dads early allegiances to the Blues, hopefully tonights result has put a smile on your dads face as he walked through the pearly gates.

Being descended from a Villa loving family, I hope tonight was a good enough send off for your dad.
By birth I should be an Aston Villa or a Sheffield Wednesday fan, by location I should be a Spurs fan.
By the Grace of God I am a Stoke City fan.
And I hope that carries through for your father.
Best wishes.
