I'd be happy for someone to show me different. You are right, although Trevor Ross did put one a couple of feet wide in December 1981 and Jimmy may have saved that one, had he been on target, as he had guessed the right way. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I wish we had someone with his canny eye today. Mr Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also do "Spot the Smile" for the home fans and guards. I've spotted three in total (the woman in the fur on the right near the flags (admiring our crew), a chap half way up on the right (possibly CIA? ) and the amused smirk on the chap at the bottom right wearing the military fur hat*. What a contrast to the one to his right looking away* (who looks like he always knew we were going to knock them out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa 59 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Still my favourite Villa player ever over the 1000s I've seen in my lifetime (64years a Villan). Never seems the get the recognition he deserves! If your talking about 'Villa legends' then surely he's up there with the best. Happy Birthday Charlie 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Saw this in a FB group and thought i'd share it here. Lots of our younger fans would probably not realise this. Back in the 60's and 70's the bus company used to run 'football specials' from various parts of the the City Centre to VP and wait their to take you back after the match. They became known simply as 'the special' and all three clubs had them. I remember getting them from Corporation Street opposite where Harry Parkes had his sports shop (where the Tesco Express is now) and then outside The Cabin, now the Grey Lantern next to Big Johns. A few drinks in the Crown and then it was 'c'mon lads, lets get the special' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
