Aston Villa Football Club to Honor Ozzy at Their First Home Game Since His Death

In life, Ozzy Osbourne was a fan of a lot of things. He loved his family. He loved his burritos. But he especially loved the Aston Villa Football Club, his hometown football (soccer) club based out of Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Having grown up in Aston, Ozzy had a special affinity for the Aston Villa Football Club. Hell, he even helped record a commercial for the team back in 2024 along with Geezer Butler that you can watch below. His connection to the team ran so deep that when it came time to play one final show last month for ‘Back to the Beginning’, the only logical venue for The Prince of Darkness and the rest of Black Sabbath was Villa Park, where his beloved football team plays.

Well, this Saturday marks the team’s first home game since Ozzy’s passing back on July 22. As such, the organization has announced that they’ll pay multiple tributes to Ozzy and his legacy.

After the team’s warmup, a video tribute will be played on the big screens. As the team walks out to play the game, they’ll do so with Ozzy’s performance of “Crazy Train” from ‘Back to the Beginning.” On the external wall of the Holte Pub, the football club commissioned someone to do a mural dedicated to Ozzy.

Meanwhile in the stadium’s FanZone, Bostin Brass, who played as part of Ozzy’s funeral procession on July 31, will be on hand to play various Ozzy and Black Sabbath classics. In the Villa Store, the team will have a book of condolences for fans to add messages and send well wishes to Ozzy and his family.
