Stolen programme for sale?
« on: March 18, 2015, 05:25:51 PM »
I've just been asked to mention that if you hear of a programme for the 1920 FA Cup final being offered for sale contact the Villa as one has been stolen from a collection.

I think it belonged to the bloke in the white hat at the front.

Uncle Frank played in the 1920 final and was captain for the 1924 one v Newcastle.

Am trying to work out, with several cousins, where/how all of his stuff ended up.

Lovely pics Andy.
Uncle Frank is the player on far right, back row in the team photo, and to the left (as we look) of Billy Walker who is shaking hands with...is it Prince Edward?

Very precious programme that.
Did it go from Villa Park, Dave?

The cover silhill!
And a few related pics.

Or, so confident were they of a Villa victory they decided to put a photograph in the programme of the team with the trophy already in their possession!
:D
