Cumbes, Jim My Dad ran the away supporters coaches and we regularly met the Villa players in the Lions club. Jim Cumbes was my hero and heartthrob and I was lucky enough to meet him on several occasions at the Lions club and on his radio show on which I won a competition to ask him a question live on his show. A lovely man xxxx
