FORMER Aston Villa CEO Christian Purslow joined fans in an Unai Emery chant at Stamford Bridge's away end.
The businessman left his role as chief executive in the summer with Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo "Monchi" joining as the club's President of Football Operations.
But Purslow continues to show his support for Villa and proved that with an away trip to Chelsea.
Footage posted on social media showed the former club boss – once of Chelsea – belting out a chant about manager Emery.
And unsurprisingly Villa fans – who celebrated a 1-0 win – loved Purslow's passion.

“I’m delighted to get off the mark now. It’s a bit of a relief, really, because the more the games go by, there’s a lot of talk and pressure.
“But I just try and block that out and I back myself in front of goal no matter what anyone says.
