"I got this call from Villa's commercial department, says Jones, 56. They wanted to know if I was going to the Everton game on Wednesday evening, which I was. They asked if I could meet somebody, but they wouldn't tell me who at first. Is it the owners?', I asked. No, it's royalty and they want you to meet at this place'. I knew it could only be one person."
"Over a Bulmers cider and for 45 minutes, the prince joined eight other Villa supporters to talk all things Unai Emery, his players and their Champions League run. Tucking into sausage rolls and drinking coffee, Jones and his friend Darren Johnson, try to reflect on a frantic, disbelieving 72 hours."
