Birmingham City play Aston Villa on Sunday live on talkSPORT 2 and its set to be a cracker.Both clubs are in the hunt for the play-offs so its sure to be feisty but one man knows rivalry better than most others.Robert Hopkins is a Hall of Famer for the Blues given his two spells at the club in the 1980s but it wasnt so easy for the midfielder at the start of his career.
Happy birthday to Blues hero / hard man, Robert Hopkins. 54 today. #BCFC pic.twitter.com/IBD3k4fkOk— DavoBirmingham (@DavoBirmingham) October 25, 2015Turned down by Birmingham City after a trial, he was heartbroken but ended up joining Aston Villas youth team and made his way up the ranks.He told Birmingham Citys official website: When I was at Villa I used to appease myself by carrying my boots in a Blues bag and wearing a Blues badge. I always wore something to do with Blues.When I was a kid you had to take your own boots, so I had a Blues bag and Id wear my Blues socks. On matchdays, in the reserves and that, Id wear my Blues badge under the Villa shirt. He continued to do this even as an senior player but his spell as a professional at Villa Park wouldnt last long just three senior appearances, despite a goal with his first ever touch against Norwich City in a 2-0 win.Because I used to wear the badge under my shirt, a few people knew, but not many. The manager at the time was Tony Barton and he warned me not to wear it. I was playing Notts County away and my shirt ripped. It nearly caused a riot, because the Villa fans spotted it.

Birmingham City vs Aston Villa is live on talkSPORT 2 at 12:00 on Sunday, March 10.The move to Blues partly came about because of that incident. There was a big uproar about it. It was a fairly well-known thing but there was no Facebook, or Twitter, or any of that stuff at the time, it was just word of mouth. But people actually saw the badge then. So, Tony Barton said, Youve got to go. Luckily enough, Ron Saunders signed me a few months later.Hopkins never played for Villa again and was swapped for Alan Curbishley in March 1983, five months after the 4-1 loss away to Notts County.
