Took my tribe down to Villa Park for the FA Cup game against Blackburn. It was the first chance I had to photograph the stature outside the Trinity Road stand and Directors entrance of William McGregor |
As a Villa director in 1888 the Scotsman pioneered the English Football League. In English football alone, McGregor's concept has grown to include more than 7,000 clubs playing in 480 divisions, and the league/table system has been adopted by most sports across the world. |
This is the view of Villa Park as we left after the game the score Aston Villa 3 Blackburn Rovers 1 |
