    I’ve been supporting BFC for about three decades.

    It got me wondering this week how strange it was that we never seem to cross paths with certain teams.

    For example, Arsenal. I think in that whole time I’ve seen us play them twice and have one player on loan? Also Villa, again I think I’ve seen us play them twice and can’t think of any kind of transfer from them.

    Any others were ships in the night with?

    I remember we played Villa in the League cup when we only had East Stand open - we got the "you've only got one stand" chant from the fans and were soundly beaten on the field.

    Will beat them 3-1 at Villa Park in2017, the season we went back up.

    they had Grealish in central midfield and we had Gorgeous George Moncur.

    I can assure you this did happen!!

    Dan Crowley on loan.

    Colin Hoyle and Dean Connelly on free's in the early 90's (I think) but I can't think of anymore.

    I'm assuming I was dreaming or sniffing glue when we had Bergkamp on loan o_O

    Quick edit - how can we forget the god like uselessness of Emmanuel Frimpong?

    We bought Tommy Graham from Villa in Allan Clarke's 78-79 promotion season.
