# Aston Villa fans all making the same joke about Sporting Director

**Aston Villa’s Sporting Director, Jesus Garcia Pitarch, was interviewed by the club and a clip whereby he discusses his early memories of the club was posted on Twitter. This caused numerous Villa fans to get involved in the ongoing joke that Pitarch resembles Richard Madeley, a TV Broadcaster, currently on ‘Good Morning Britain’ and most renown for ‘Richard and Judy’. With that being said, let’s take a look at the Villa fans’ take on it.**

One fan was especially pleased to have seen the resemblance.

Another fan couldn’t help but feel that alongside Richard Madeley, ex-Manchester City boss, Roberto Mancini, was also part of the look.
