The thing I like about this kind of stuff is that it might educate the younger football supporter out there that the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United etc. were all small fry and unheard of back in the day.  Villa were "the" name and world famous before the lot of them.

I've got a postcard sent by the squad from Germany with all their autographs on. I'd scan and post it if I could work it out !

Hard to imagine now but there was a special 1st day issue envelope/postcard with "Fußballspiel Aston Villa F.C. -Deutsche Nationalmannschaft 15.5.1938" postal stamps



Don't let spk and our other enlightened friends over in off topic know about the man shafting. Though being a man shafter to a national standard does actually sound pretty impressive.
