Gary Nock Live! Hey peeps… Just to let all you football fans (Villa fans in particular!) know that I’ve rewritten part of my song ‘Make It Better’ as a club anthem for my beloved Aston Villa Football Club. We’ve put some classic footage to the song including the moment that Peter Withe scored the winner in the European Cup Final! Oh you didn’t know? YES! We won the European Cup :)
