"Hi hoping you may be able to help me?? I am trying to locate the former Villa player from the late 60's/early 70's Ian "Chico" Hamilton. I am working on behalf of SUEPA Southend United Ex-Players Association. (See us on Facebook & Twitter). We were formed back in January 2018 and our aim is to put former team-mates back in touch with each other, and as of today we have just under 200 former ex-players some of whom played for Southend United in the 1950's and 60's. Chico only played at Roots Hall for just under a season signing in Sept.'68 from Chelsea for about £5,000? playing in a total of 40 league & F.A.Cup matches scoring 12 goals before signing for Villa in 1969 for about £40,000?, we currently have 8 players who were team mates of Chico including Billy Best who was the goalscorer for Southend when Villa were beaten 1-0 in the F.A.Cup match back in Nov. 1971. I have been looking over the last few months at various Villa social media sites and I did see a photo of Chico at Villa Park in the last few years & did try to make contact with someone but so far not had any luck so was wondering if there was anyone on this site could/would be able to point me in the right direction. Any help on this matter would be gratefully received in our quest for former players. Many Thanks, David Brabbing."
