I was the villa fan shutting the door and turning the sign over on the advert 💜💙🦁

[@vinylhorror]

Emi Martinez and my man Chris here had me Laughing out Loud when I watched the advertisement. My favorite portion of the video and it’s so cool you have him on the Pod. UTV!!!

[@jimbo200]

Was dying to know who he was! his acting was brilliant too!

[@craigosborne3260]

This will go down in the annals of brilliant Aston Villa Videos, that have entertained, inspired and added weight of historical context, for current and future Villans, alike.

Worked with Mr Burton for years. Can’t believe a blues fan is caught wearing a villa shirt. Top man, great laugh and clearly a great actor. Well done Chris 👍

[@alexavfclineham7301]

He said he wasn't a local fan 😅, was that a white lie 😅

[@realvilla]

I was convinced I recognised him and had assumed he was one of the 81/82 squad and couldn't figure out why I couldn't quite place him! 😂

[@chrisdoyle2365]

Fantastic interview Matt, really nice guy, interesting topic. More of this kind of contact please.

[@stestetsonmusic]

This is an absolutely genius piece of marketing from Villa and Adidas

[@BazTromans-o1y]

Fair play to the bloke,what a video to get a role in. UTV

[@woofwoof1able]

this is what we want from Claret and Blue pod/Mat Kendrick!

[@Hfd1990]

Lovely interview, seems like a genuinely nice guy, and will now be remembered as being a little part of Villas history! UTV

[@mariefinch355]

Great interview matt 💜💙🦁

[@cricketbat09]

He is great in the advert! What a role. UTV

[@robertooliveira4668]

I loved this campaign from new Aston villa shirt.

[@juddystar]

I would of thought the mention of being able to wear a full kit would have had John Terry begging for the part🤣

[@jamescurley4622]

this was a fun chat! Nice work Mat

[@davidmartin1723]

Great insight and a bit of a laugh well done

[@pearljam619]

Nice to meet you Mr. Burton. UTV.

[@yvonnewebb6745]

Fabulous Matt well done Chris and Matt

[@jonathancolen9960]

Loved this. Top blokes 👏

[@adams1253]

Top guy! Future oscar winner

[@CTMUSIC70]

Great stuff. I spent days afterwards thinking I was an idiot for not knowing who this was! UTV

[@KeithWells-x9b]

Nice one Chris

[@vforvillan9502]

I have to say that Paul McCartney's looking pretty good after all these years.

[@zinc121]

Interested to know when it was filmed, thinking a couple of months ago?

[@Tom.Jackson.]

Fair play, he had us all going 😂😂😂

[@royaltyfreemusiccollective8662]

Loved this ! Mystery solved 😅

[@avfc1985]

Fair play to him. UTV!

[@midnightmark4410]

Love it,, thanks

[@michaelsmith1770]

literally thought it was geezer butler until this video. they dont even look the same

[@michellemaynard6808]

UTV 💜💙💜

[@RenewedRS]

It seems a bad idea to include a random elderly guy alongside clips of Geezer and Ozzy.. For a minute I thought Randy Rhoads had never died and this kit launch video was his comeback.

[@IAMLION0121]

First UTV!

[@TheFriendoftheFunk]

I thought it was Gordon Cowans

[@albertupardsnipec5988]

Thought it was Geezer, it's not, its some random guy with nothing to do with the club. Oh.

[@MattH1874]

Another mystery solved...

[@imbonkers3629]

Diaby gone 😢and Duran deal with West Ham almost done 😮

[@ClaretBluePod]

We've spoken about that already

[@pearljam619]

Duran can do one. Trouble maker and toxic.

[@TCFKAE]

Great interview Matt. You need to get back to the coal face!
