A pity that a better relationship didnt develop over the years, however with regard to the next kit supplier, imagine those skintight Kappa shirts on some of our lot.A few years ago, someone on here posted a scan of a magnificent Nike advert from 1981/2, which (memory going fuzzy now) had the Villa team, and the slogan "Villa Park, Birmingham" on it.I took a copy of it and squirrelled it away somewhere, but have lost it. Would love to see it again.EDIT - actually, think it may have been "Villa Park, England".Anyone find this?It's a pic of the Villa dressing room with shirts hanging up and Nike boots underneath I think....wasn't it centre spread in the European Cup final programme?
