Meet Bannan and Hogg (with added Lichaj as Dunne was eating all the pies)

[Legion]

From Pravda:

Gabby Agbonlahor* and Jonathan Hogg* will be paying a special Christmas visit to the Villa Village store on Wednesday December 15.

The claret and blue duo will be participating in an autograph session as the club shop gears up for the busy festive period.

The appearance will take place from 3.30pm* to 4.30pm.

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to meet your favourite Villa stars and get your replica shirts signed in time to give to your loved ones on Christmas Day.

The players will ONLY be signing merchandise bought in-store on the day.

Fans are advised to arrive early as the event is expected to be very well attended.

Both the Villa Village and New Street stores stock hundreds of great gift ideas this Christmas.

Agbonlahor has been a massive fan favourite for many years after proving himself as one of the best strikers in the Barclays Premier League.

He made his way through the club's academy system to the first team and is now a vital member of the team.

Hogg, meanwhile, has just broken into the team and impressed many with his all-action displays and tough tackling.

The 22-year-old made his top-flight debut against Manchester United and did a fantastic job in the centre ground during the 2-2 draw.

Both players have just signed new deals with the club and will be integral in Gerard Houllier's plans.

Don't miss out on the chance to meet them this week.

Why not Richard Dunne and Sidwell

Be nice to see Sidwell put a shift in down the Villa for a change.

They could not let Dunne sign autographs.   He would give away the pen.

He'd probably eat it.

Why the asterisks?

Now Dunne* is scheduled to appear. Unless it clashes with his WeightWatchers session.

Nah, any excuse :-)

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Would be funny to see how Mister Stay Puft fends off the questions about bust ups with Houllier.

[darren woolley]

It will be worth going along and don't forget take a mars bar for Dunne.
