I have a Holte End brick that I collected the day they knocked down the Trinity Road side wall, I wouldn't part with it for love nor money.
I'm also rather fond of a Villa united league cup final painting signed by Deano and Dalian and a very sad 'pride of the midlands' flag I bought on Erdington High Street twenty odd years ago that's been to London with me countless times since. :-)

You lucky fucker, I've got mates with those and not one of them looks like they've aged a day since! Must have been something in the Rotterdam beer :-)

My season ticket book was always the single thing that I would grab for if the flat was on fire but sadly I have no attachment whatsoever to my new 'seasoncards'. :-(

There's a mirror at my parents' house with the old circluar badge and a really nice deep claret bearing the legend "A record 7 wins" of the FA Cup. It lists all our honours and you can place it between 77 and 81 based on what it includes.

Had my photo taken with the European Cup back in 82, and it was pride of place in my bedroom for years till I left home and my Mom had a clear out and I haven't seen it since. It still bothers me to this day.

Has to be my programmes. Every home programme from 1966 when I started and almost every away programme from 1969 up till i stopped buying the "match day magazine" in the early 1990s. Supplemented with buildling it up back into the 1950s plus a few pre war. Oldest I have is a Villa News and Record dated about 1912.

My top 3;
1, The Story of Aston Villa, which is a book of cartoons by Norman Edwards, circa @ 1952 price 3/6
2, my home made flag , ASTON VILLA, LIONS 1874,,
which hung proudly at the Green Man before the game with Chelsea,
but the nice lady at Wembley said was too big to take into the ground,
after much grovelling she let me hang it over the wall by the corner flag.
3, My 6ft Lion mural on the back of my kitchen extension,
(still getting grief from she who must be obeyed on that one!)

1957 FA Cup Final programme and newspaper from that day.
Bought them off eBay a few years ago.
Desperately want to see Villa win the FA Cup again.

Ive got the 1957 programme but not any newspapers. However I have the newspaper for the 1956 Cup Final, a blue coloured Birmingham saturday night sports paper which must have been the forerunner of the Sports Argus.
Im rather pleased that the one vague piece of small heath memorabilia I have relates to when they must have realised that the gypsy curse was for real. Well done Mr Trautmann.

When I was a kid i won a signed shirt around 1986,the shirts was the white and yellow away striped shirt. It wasn't a vintage Villa team around that time but there's a couple of legends on there,Allan Evans and Andy Gray,but there's also Paul Kerr and Satan Hodge!!
