Get a retro shirt, they are good quality and they never go out of date.

Get 'The Big Match' DVD for yourself if you don't have it already.
Lot's of interesting Villa footage from when you were a nipper.
Think Andy Gray might be on the cover but let that slide and relive your yoof.

 I was disappointed with that. Short clips of games where Villa may or may not have won.

Over two hours long innit? And Gray is on the picture on the disk, think it's Morley on the cover.

Billy got a great pair of shinpads from the shop on saturday. Didn't do him much good when a little thug went through the back of him on sunday morning though.
That's Harrogate for you ... the mean streets (it wasn't anyone from Pannal Sports, I hope!).

It is. It also gets ever so slightlyt boring. I'm not sure they found the best games to show.

Saw the title of the thread and was hoping it would be about The Prisoner.
Not some overpriced shop selling tat.

Popped in there Sunday morning, for some bizarre reason they had a book by Bob Monkhouse, presumably because his best mate Dave Ismay had helped write it.

I went in on Saturday morning, armed with a bag of money. The only thing my kids wanted was a Villa teddy each and a cat bowl for their new kittens.

Ended up going into the Holte Pub and spending my money in there instead.

Ripon. All that needs to be said about these big city boys.

They got a hammering off Pannal Sports yesterday though.

You need to be careful on those mean streets of Harrogate/Ripon/Pannal.*
