Bluenose Glynn Purnell has cheeky Aston Villa dig on live TV

Birmingham chef - and Birmingham City supporter - Glynn Purnell has listed his Aston Villa counterparts as one of things that disappoints him in life! Michelin star chef Purnell, who recently closed his city centre restaurant Purnells after 17 years, is a Blues supporter and has appeared previously on James Martin's Saturday Morning show on ITV.

Purnell has worked at Edgbaston Stadium for the last couple of summers, this past year creating menus for England's Test match against the West Indies, the IT20 against Pakistan and T20 Blast Finals Day.

He has also worked with Blues to deliver a similar experience in the Garrison, Blues' new hospitality area at St Andrew's which is inspired by Peaky Blinders and which was worked on by Purnell and Steven Knight.

On Saturday morning, while cooking with Martin, Purnell revealed the things that grind his gears: "There are four things in life that really disappoint me...warm beer, cheeky kids, Aston Villa fans and prawn toast." Purnell was making crispy prawn toast layered with a crab salad, garnished with edible flowers, micro coriander and plum slices.

A few years ago, Purnell explained how he'd come to be a Bluenose.

"Unfortunately yes, I am a big Birmingham City fan! We went and watched Birmingham v Hull in 1985 and it was the first football match I'd been to," he said. "There were about 3,000 fans there, the ground was empty, the football was awful. I thought to myself 'I strangely quite like this pain!'

"You know when you go somewhere and you feel like you belong there? That was it, really, for me. There is an essence of community. There's an essence of you've chosen your colours, whether you win or lose or draw, whether you're in the third division or the Premier League. It's a case of coming together.

"When you watch something in the theatre, you just tend to enjoy how graceful the actors are, or dancers, or comedians. You can relax and enjoy it. When you go to the football, it could ruin your day. That's the difference! You have that interest. It can be painful or delightful."
