Older people talk about the days of playing local derby double headers on Christmas day and boxing day. I remember us playing Albion on Christmas day and boxing day with just one stand, about a dozen supporters and just two floodlights.
1979. The year I got Subbuteo. I got the Villa team seperately along with 'World Cup Subbuteo' so 'Albion' were playing in an Argentina kit and the winners got the Jules Rimet trophy.
I have no idea why in 1979 Subbeteo had not updated the trophy in their World Cup edition.
Also, forget Albion's 'Three Degree's, I had the 'eleven degrees'. For some reason the whole Argentinian team appeared to be black.
