It's the Monday after a 1-1 draw at Leeds United in April 2019, Aston Villa's penultimate Championship game of the season. 

Three years since relegation from the Premier League, Villa are guaranteed a place in the play-offs and a local television camera crew is out and about near Birmingham to gauge reaction.
They come across a lady out shopping on the high street. "I'm so proud," she says beaming into the camera. "It's fantastic - something he has always wanted to do." 
It dawns on the reporter that the lady being interviewed is in fact the mother of Villa boss Dean Smith.
"His dad would be so proud. He's got dementia and he's in a home and doesn't know him," continues Hilary. 
Have you got a message for Villa fans? "Thank you for supporting my son. You're absolutely brilliant. God bless you all. Hope we get there [to the Premier League]."
This is Great Barr, where Smith, the son of an Aston toolmaker, is a legend. 
An area to the north-west of Birmingham city centre, the 48-year-old Villa boss grew up on the Gorse Farm estate, went to school in these parts, while his uncle Reg is secretary of Great Barr Conservative Club.
On Sunday, the local-boy-made-good will lead his beloved team out against Manchester City at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.
Will they be dancing on the streets of Great Barr at full-time?

'I dragged him on the European Cup bus'

Like Chris Wilder at Sheffield United, Smith is managing a Premier League club he has supported since childhood.
As a schoolboy, he stood on Villa Park's famous Holte End steps roaring on the team in claret and blue with his brother, Dave. Their deep love of Villa comes from their father, Ron, who worked as a steward in the Trinity Road Stand.
Aged 11, Smith was one of thousands who poured onto the streets of Birmingham to welcome Villa's triumphant 1982 European Cup-winning team back from the Netherlands after a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich.
Pat Heard, an unused substitute in Rotterdam, lived opposite Ron and Hilary and spotted a fresh-faced Smith among the flag-waving hordes. 
"I've known Dean since he was nine years old," Heard told BBC Sport.
"He was in the crowd at the town hall, I dragged him on to the bus and he came back with the team to Villa Park."
