I loved the yellow shirt we wore at Anfield in 92-93, we only wore it twice I believe but it was a beauty (I went through a phase of buying Villa shirts and the odd European ones, it's no wonder I am skint now).

agreed, my brother had one (15 at the time) and now my 10 year old's found it, waiting to grow into it

I've still got mine,it did use to give off a funny smell,probably to do with me being a teenager at the time.

I wish they'd bring back the away shirt of 83,white and yellow stripe,worn away at Spartak Moscow.

The yellow shirt  we wore in a cup game at Crystal Palace, no idea when but Bruce Rioch was playing and I think we were second or third division and they were in a division/s above.  0-0 draw and we won the replay.
...
That sounds like the 71/72 Div 3 promotion season and the year after we made it to the final. I still hate Tottenham and jam.

I didn't go to Selhurst, but the replay was 2-0 and played in an absolute downpour.

It was Blackpool (also top flight) for the next round with everyone convinced we'd go all the way this time. Tony Green tore us a new one and we lost 4-1.

Previous highlights of the run included an entertaining marathon with Wrexham which ended up with a second replay on neutral ground (The Hawthorns). Those were the days.

In the first replay Harry Gregory (captain, he didn't last long) got so upset with Tommy Hughes he kicked one enormous lump off him, much to the delight of the home fans.

I remember buying that shirt in 1984 in a sports shop in town for about a fiver and convincing myself that a large was the right fit. Played five a side in it for a bit and my last recollection of it was decorating in it and it being splattered in pistachio green...

has anyone ever seen the classic 76-81 away shirt with the diamonds on the arms for sale?

Now that was a shirt

The 2002-03 home kit just saved my bacon. Decent looking classic Villa kit but I rarely wear it as the collar is too snug fitting.

Last night I enjoyed a memorable evening with a lass from the office but she went to town on my neck and I woke up with a rake of lovebites. I wanted to avoid being the focus of gossip when I went in this morning and luckily this top covered just about covered all incriminating evidence. Thank you Diadora!

I don't think many of our home shirts have aged too well. A fair few of our aways are still absolutely gorgeous though.

I think the 07/08 (5-1 v SHA) will be a future classic. As will the away from that year, both gorgeous.

Just bought the yellow third shirt from 1993 on eBay. Only £25, but the Umbro logo is a bit faded.

I gave my shirt to a mate from Scotland, I wish i'd kept it now as it was a beauty.. it was probably him who sold it on ebay.
