Many of you will know about Stan Petrov of Villa and his battle against leukaemia.
Villa fans are making the day “Stan Petrov Day” and have organised masks etc.
Stan Petrov Day v Wigan
They have given a minutes applause at every game in the 19th minute, and will do on Sunday.
As there is now nothing riding on this game, I think it would be really appropriate for us to join in this applause (as we did at Villa Park) to remind ourselves and everyone else that petty rivalries in football are minimal when you look at bigger things in life.
