Heartwarming BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH Tribute Villa Park 9 12 2023 Aston Villa vs Arsenal

A privilege to be at Villa Park to witness the spontaneity of the crowd in their applause, chanting of Holten Enders in the Sky and love for the late Benjamin Zephaniah, whos sadly died on Thursday the seventh of December, just two days before the Arsenal game.
Benjamin had been a life-long Villa fan and a regular sight on The Mighty Holte End.
His Ode To Aston Villa contains so much love for the Mighty Villa, so much wit and so much humour and shows how a fan should be, banter not hate.
• Benjamin Zephaniah: Od...
The following video tells of his life as a Villa fan, referencing Ossie Osbourne and early days when Benjamin 'looked after' cars at matches.
• Poet & 'Peaky Blinders...
In the Sixties and Seventies I used to go with my Dad and brother to every game. Dad would park behind some shops near Aston Manor Primary school and a young kid would look after the car for 50p or so.
Nowadays a church or school will do the same for a tenner.
My name is Gary Prescott. I am known as The Biking Birder. A Villa fan since being born, eleventh months after our last FA Cup win!
Proud that Villa could have such a magnificent man as a Villa fan.
