Villa Park deserves a walkout anthem that reflects who we are—not just something that sounds dramatic. Escape has done the job for a while, but it’s a film score with no real tie to the club, the fans, or our city.

We already play Crazy Train before kick-off—a nod to Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy and Villa’s Brummie roots. It gets the crowd buzzing, and it works. But when the players walk out, the energy drops. Escape doesn’t carry the same meaning or punch.

Look at other clubs: Liverpool has You’ll Never Walk Alone. Brentford plays Hey Jude. These songs have soul—history, unity, identity. Villa’s walkout should do the same.

Iron Man by Black Sabbath isn’t just heavy—it’s Birmingham-born, iconic, and tied to Ozzy, a lifelong Villan who gave his final concert at Villa Park. It’s not about overdoing the tribute—it’s about choosing a song that hits hard, gets fans fired up, and tells the world what being a Villan is really about: pride, grit, and showing up loud.

Let’s start every match the right way—backed by our city’s sound.
