The club have recently put on a series of Q & A sessions with former players via Skype, Zoom or similar charging a nominal fee, the purpose is to raise the profile of Devon & Somerset Lions, build a relationship with Aston Villa and the Foundation, whilst raising money for charity, this exercise has proved a great success and we are looking to continue this certainly in the absence of attending matches.

Italy - Latin Lions
Chairperson - Stefano Armellini
The Latin Lions are the Italian supporters’ club, founded in 2007 by Stefano, Andrea and Charlie, and now numbering about 50 members all over "the boot" (as Italy is familiarly called) and even in the Basque Country.
The club’s seat is in Padova, in the region of Veneto in the North East of Italy.
Since 2008 the Latin Lions have enjoyed incredible opportunities courtesy of the Villa: for instance, their members had the chance to meet the legendary members of the 1982 team on several occasions at Villa Park and even at a dinner in a beautiful restaurant in the Birmingham area (unfortunately no longer existing) called “Restaurant 82” (nomen omen, said the Ancient Romans).
As the poet Wordsworth owed to the landscape of the Wye Valley, “in hours of weariness, sensations sweet felt in the blood and felt along the heart” the same felling have the Latin Lions for their fan club. It is through the fan club, infact, that they have been able to welcome to Italy the likes of Rob Bishop (with whom they have established a firm friendship), Garry Thompson, Ian Taylor and Peter Withe.
The apogee was reached when, after a lunch in a beautiful setting on the volcanic hills near Padova, they replicated for the cameras of AVTV the action of “that” goal in Rotterdam, with Peter Withe playing the part of Peter Withe and Stefano playing Tony Morley.
Or maybe the apogee was reached the day after, when the Latin Lions went to Florence with Rob Bishop and Peter Withe to watch Fiorentina v Milan at the invitation of Fiorentina, visited the Violas’ changing room and walked out onto the pitch before the game. The English contingent was so keen to visit beautiful Florence after the game (Rob Bishop bought a huge ice cream in Piazza della Signoria, for instance) that they almost missed their return train!
And there would be many other stories to tell (the Latin Lions even arranged a meeting in Rome, visiting the training centre of Stefano’s Italian club (Lazio, it goes without saying) and presenting the Lazio sporting director with a Villa shirt printed with his name).
But the most important achievement of the Latin Lions is that they are lucky enough to have become friends with some fantastic die-hard English Villa fans like Frank, Chris, Jon, Pauline and many others who always reserve a place for the Italian guys in the pubs which they go to before (ok, even after) the game. For the home games the Burton’s Arms is a must, while in the away game we usually go in beautiful pubs, rich of history, accurately chosen by our English mates.
The larger group of members is located in Padua where, in another era, we met to watch the villa games on TV.
We miss very much our trips to England, and the incredible results of the Villa 20-21 are our sole consolations. We must only fancy what we we would have done if we had been at the stadium with our friends for Villa Liverpool, for instance…..

Malaysia
Chairperson - Yazeer Serenna
Quite a number of Aston Villa fans in Malaysia initially thought that they were the only one. By forming the Aston Villa Malaysia Lions Club, we are uniting all of those Villans and forming a community around our mutual love of Aston Villa.
Of multicultural and multi-racial backgrounds, both locals and expats, the majority of Malaysian Lions are based in Kuala Lumpur & the Klang Valley with few in other states (e.g. Johor, Terengganu), while other isolated Villans are being discovered!
For games with early kick off times, we regularly meet to watch the matches together and sometimes even host opposing fans, with S+I in Bangsar being our version of Villa Park!
Otherwise, it’s late night alarm calls, rubbing our eyes on the couch and commenting on the games via Whatsapp.
For more information, check our Facebook page for events and information or email us - we are always happy to share our passion!

You can find more information on our Facebook page or if you join our Lions Club you will get information and updates by mail and WhatsApp. We as the Dutch Lions have our own Whats App group for discussions, villa talk, updates etc. Once per season we do plan a trip to go to an Aston Villa game with the whole Dutch Lions group. This is always a great experience and it makes the Dutch Lions as one big family. Does this bring a smile on your face? then don’t hesitate to join and send an E-mail to officialdutchlions@hotmail.com. We hope to see you soon, have a pint together while watching the Villa.
