Meet the Aston Villa fan with the best grandad in the world

Everyone thinks their grandparents are better than everyone else’s – but Aston Villa fan Tom McGowan may have a stronger claim than most. McGowan will be going to Wembley this weekend to watch his beloved Villa take on Liverpool in their FA Cup semi-final – after his grandad queued up to get him a ticket. Not only that, but he’s also got a sense of humour – as this note proves. My grandad, my hero. Roll on Wembley. #avfc pic.twitter.com/gg8xDPGape — Tom McGowan (@tompmcgowan) April 16, 2015 As presents go, that beats the standard Christmas Boots voucher doesn’t it? He’s like a kind of inverse Grandpa Joe from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So next time you get involved in a game of ‘my grandad’s better than your grandad’ – just make sure you’re not playing against Tom McGowan.
