Aston Villa Old Stars v Beacon Centre for the Blind 18th May

[Richard E]

As a trustee of the Beacon Centre for the Blind in Sedgley can I publicise this charity match taking place this Sunday at Hednesford Town FC - 2.30 pm kick off.

I'm in the squad but expect it to be a cameo appearance seeing as how I seem to be the oldest person in the team, and I'm crap at football.

Thanks

[Toronto Villa]

Good luck to you Richard. Take lots of Paracetamol with you, and a walking stick or frame should you need it after your first collapse. A very good cause.

Best of luck. Hope it goes well.

I think a win is on the cards for you. My dad always said the Villa couldn't beat the Blind School.

Hope all goes well. Would attend but SATs marking has now started.

Link to a video about the event if anyone is interested:-

It wasn't the most "all-star" of Old Star teams - Neil Rioch, Martin Carruthers and Julian Joachim were the most famous names.

All donations to the Beacon Centre always gratefully received!
