I went to the game, it was great to see so many fans there. We saw Gary Gardner while I was queuing for a hot chocolate and at the end of the game my son and I went over to the main stand and saw Ashley Young and Gareth Barry, my son got his shirt signed by Barry and he got his photo took with him, fair play to the guy there was hardly anyone left in the ground and he was still signing stuff. A great day for a great cause, shame the legends lost 7-6

Midlands Today is featuring the event, which is fantastic. On again, presumably, at 10.15pm on BBC1.

An excellent afternoon. A big thank you to the people who organised it.
Pre match Ashley Young was superb, posing for photo's and signing autographs for all comers. On the pitch Ken McNaught has exactly the same hair style and looks to be carrying the same weight has he did in '82. The only difference is that gravity seems to have defeated him, six inches is about all he can manage to jump nowadays!!
I had a real red face moment when I was buying a signed photo of Peter Withe scoring that goal, the gentleman serving me was a silver haired Scotsman who said "I was better than him and I bet you don't know my name" quick as a flash I said "You're Bobby MacDonald".
I'm very sorry Bobby Thomson, It was one of those senior moments.

Was great fun, gutted I didn't know Petrov was there. But it was great to see so many people there.

ashley young stood out with the villa fans and signed his autograph for 40 minutes on his own, none of his pr crowd. gareth barry stayed after the game,he signed every autograph and had every photo taken till there was no-one left. They both did it with a smile on their faces and seemed happy to be there.

Lets hope that both ash and Gareth are cut a bit of slack next time they play at villa park, yes they both left us to join other clubs but days like today show they still remember and value their villa days and friendships.
