Brilliant!

Not quite up there with printing a photo of Burnley on the cover of our official history video, but still brilliant

that's funny. And I thought my mum was bad for sending me a birthday card with Trevor Brooking on the front. "Well the colours are the same aren't they..."  No mum

Bless her. I turned 39 a couple of days back and she sent me a card with a lot of red on it. It had a silhouette of a footballer on it, and then "YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE" underneath. I haven't had the heart to tell her.

How do these frauds have jobs?

[Chico Hamilton III]

Are you serious?

Yep.

When they released the Ofiicial History of Aston Villa video ( mid-late 80s?Reg Gutteridge doing the commentary) the cover featured a collage of Villa photos and pride of place in the middle of them was a photo of Leighton James and his Burnley chums. The cover was quickly re-designed to show the '75 league cup winning side in place of the Burnley photo.

The original video is a collector's item now

I think that was last year's mistake.

I was just in the shop and saw them, I couldn't believe it... and why do they have all Sid Gowans and not a mix of McGrath, Little, Withe, etc.

[Legion]

Does no-one check these things?

[PeterWithesShin]

Surely they should just do a box of 14, all Withe (i'm a genius!!) different names on. Now if only someone could think up a reason to use 14 names.

I remember something similar happening to me, with Geoff Pike rather than Trev, though.

Surely you mean MacGrath, Liddle and White?

[supertommykN'iba]

Definitely last years mistake. Think McGrath and Withe were the others, and I'm pretty sure they sold out.

[Mazrim]

Its not a mistake. These are in honour of famous Villa fan Mrs Doyle.

Go-wan, go-wan, gowan gowan gowan gowan gowan....

Reminds me of those old nintendo footy games where they can't use real players names for legal reasons so they change a letter so it sounds almost the same.

FFS. This club is getting worse.

I was really surprised to see that on the club badge rather than 'Prepared'.
