"Let's hope tonight is the first step towards another European adventure!" exclaimed an excited William, referencing Aston Villa's historical win in the top European competition, a victory that predates his birth by just a month. But his message wasn't just about the game. In a touching tribute, he also remembered Villa legend Gary Shaw, who had recently passed away, showcasing the depth of his connection to the team.
