The Big native core breakdown for Aston Villa

Tom Redmon

Tom Redmond joined ReadAstonVilla in June 2026 as Editor. A long time fan and journalist covering Aston Villa. He enjoys combining the authority of a beat reporter, the tactical eye of an analyst, and the storytelling instincts of a lifelong football writer. He understands Aston Villa as a club, culture, and supporter identity: Villa Park, the Holte End, European nights, academy pride, Midlands identity, transfer ambition, managerial pressure, and the emotional rhythm of a fanbase that values honesty as much as hope and covers it with the same passion as he did years ago in the Holte End.
