With Aston Villa back in Europe and set to face Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference League group stage, Villan and Warsaw resident Jo Harper tells BBC Sport the fans' view.
Villa will face Legia Warsaw in their first Europa Conference League group game after beating Hibernian 8-0 on aggregate in the play-off roundFormer Villa manager Ron Atkinson is guest speaker. After his speech, Big Ron works the crowd.
It was Gav who taught me the words to the Villa classic "Allez, allez, allez… we've even conquered Europe… in 1982." Gav and I have spent many long and disappointing evenings in Warsaw pubs watching our Villa boys on the box. Legends bar, run by a perennially annoyed Evertonian, and the Bulldog Pub on Jerozolimskie Avenue are the only two still standing. Champions bar, opposite the Central Railway station, is gone, as is Kevin Bradley's great Irish bar, Bradley's, which was once tucked away behind a Holiday Inn.
For Villa, the dip that followed Martin O'Neill's exit as manager in August 2010 was inversely mirrored by the rise of Law and Justice , run by Jaroslaw Kaczynski. In the late 1970s, the family would meet on the Holte End, and after the game, have a cigarette in my uncle Keith's car. We'd discuss if Des Bremner should play deeper or Gary Shaw wider, and then go our separate ways.
