Aston Villa Book of the 70s

[Chico Hamilton III]

Anyone seen this?

Looks ok but it's going to have to have better photos than The Weir and the Wonderful and better content than Children of the Revolution if it's going to be a classic.

I bought something from the club shop Saturday and was given a postcard with this on the front and info on the back about the book so the club must be supporting it.

I was given the same card as PWS in the pub after the game. As Chico says it has all been covered well in the past although they do claim to have unearthed photos not seen before. I get the impression it will be more of a reference book rather than one to sit and read.

Whatever happened to that 'retro' fanzine that somebody or other was shouting loudly about needing contributors for a couple of years ago?

They were right robbing bastards. Someone took out a subscription for me when it was announced and I got a couple of issues and loads of excuses whenever I emailed them about other issues. It was utter shit as well although my mate didn't know it would be at the time obviously, but out of principal I tried to get what had been paid for in advance, I was never sent another issue though.

"Children of the Revolution" will be difficult to surpass.

Impossible.

Surely the 80's are ripe for a comprehensive tome? From top to bottom and (second from) top again. Even Mr Woodhall has left the era untouched apart from the title winning season I think.

Covered, although not in-depth like COTR, in Dave's Astonian Odyssey book.

I have that but can't remember the period it covers, it's to the (then) present day, I think?
