Aston Villa: Fans quote Homes Under the Hammer as former striker celebrates birthday
Many Aston Villa fans have wished former striker Dion Dublin happy birthday by responding to a tweet with some quotes from television programme Homes Under the Hammer.
Dublin joined Villa in 1998 after spending time with Coventry City and Manchester United earlier in his career, and it was at Villa Park that the Leicester born striker enjoyed some of his best form.
The former England international netted an impressive 51 goals in 182 games with the Claret and Blue, whilst also playing centre back on the odd occasion.
Leaving Villa in 2004 for boyhood club Leicester, Dublin would eventually move to Celtic and then finish his playing career with Norwich City.
Following his professional career, the former striker worked as a pundit, whilst he is also a host on television programme Homes Under the Hammer, working alongside Lucy Alexander and Martin Roberts.
Known on the TV series for the phrase ‘And here we have the stairs going up to the bedroom’, Villa fans chose to reference the quote in their celebration of his birthday.
Reacting to Villa’s tweet, fans issued a positive response and below are just some of those:

And I bet my mortgage that the first reply to this will be @RobbieSavage8 getting his dish realigned by Dion’s beautiful bald head. #AVEIT
