Its going to be so exciting as we progress through the week.
Albion play their biggest game for 5 years next Saturday. No disrespect to Manchester City or West Ham. Although I am sure Aston Villa won't field an ineligible player. Ahem!
So to whet your appetite even more. I have complied a small and almost relevant Albion and Villa based quiz.
Enjoy! You can put your answers below if you want.I will congratulate anyone who gets more than 80% later on in the week.What about that then.
1 Who came to Hove from Villa as a makeweight for Steve Foster in 1984?
2 On what date did the Albion last play at Villa Park in a competitive first team fixture?
3 What did ex Villa manager and perennial misery John Gregory say about Dick Knight and a seagull in 1998?
4 Which Villa forward did the Albion take on Loan in 2007 who scored in his debut?
5 Which ex Villa player managed the Albion in the early 1970’s?
