Mark Villers was watching Villa ’ s 2-0 FA Cup win over their local rivals from the lower section of the North Stand when away supporters housed above began ripping out seats and throwing them down . He told how he required treatment from Villa ’ s club doctor , who needed to cut his hair and glue the grisly wound on the top of his head closed . Aston Villa supporter Mark Villers needed his hair cut and wound glued together on Saturday night . Villers , 20 , shows his blood-stained trainers after being hit by a seat during the Midlands derby at Villa Park . ‘ It was mental , ’ said Villers , 20 , who attended the game with two friends . ‘ We could see them throwing down the chairs after we scored the second so we walked down to by the advertising boards . We didn ’ t think they ’ d be able to reach . ‘ All of a sudden , everyone shouted , “ Duck ” and stupidly I turned around . It literally hit me bang on the forehad , head on . ‘ It was a shock but I didn ’ t think anything of it . I carried on cheering . Then I felt the blood pouring down my face . It was really bad . I ’ ve never bled that much . It was pouring out all over my clothes . It was a bad cut . ‘ The pain wasn ’ t that bad , it was the shock of seeing blood come down my face . I knew it had hit me quite hard but I didn ’ t think it would cut me . It must have been caught by the sharp bit . ‘ There were quite a lot of seats . After we scored the second goal things started flying down . To guess at the end it must have been 20 or 25 . One landed on the pitch . Villers claims that West Brom supporters threw chairs at Villa supporters during the FA Cup tie . The fan 's jeans and shoes were seen to be covered in claret after the trouble . ‘ I didn ’ t need to go to hospital . I went to the stewards and they ushered me down the tunnel where the paramedics were . They held the tissue on and then the Villa doctor came , took me into the medical room , and glued it up for me . ‘ He had to cut my hair unfortunately so I ’ ve got a bit of a bald patch . He cleaned me up and sent me on my way . ‘ At least I got to go down the tunnel ! I was sat down on a stretcher and saw Jack Grealish come through after he got sent off . Then I saw everyone going mad with the pitch invasion . ‘ The pitch invasion is bad but I don ’ t think it ’ s as bad as people throwing chairs . ' Speaking on Match of the Day , Phillips – who played for both West Brom and Villa during his playing career – said such actions could have been fatal .
