1980s Villa Park Nike ad

[pauliewalnuts]

Ages ago, I uploaded a larger version of this image:



I'd scanned it and tidied it up a bit. It is an advert from a Villa matchday programme from the early 1980s (obviously).

Just wondering - does anyone have a copy of it? Am sure I uploaded it here, but it was prior to the server move, so the original post will have been lost.

NB if this sounds familiar, I posted a request for it about 2 years ago

Is that from the Anderlecht programme?

[martin o`who??]

i may be wrong here, but isnt that a poster included in the Programme for a Villa v Swansea game just prior to Rotterdam?...(serious fucking statto moment here!)

[pauliewalnuts]

I think it might actually be from the programme for the final, as I suspect I might have scanned it, and that's the only one I had (and I have no idea where it is now, either, to my shame).

[Pete3206]

Ahh, I think you're right there.

ive got the final programme and i dont think its got anything like that in it. (Plus its in the loft and i cant be arsed to check!).

I'm pretty certain it was in the final programme, but there were two versions.

[Pete3206]

I reckon it was in the Swansea programme and the Bayern.

It was defiantly in the programme for the final.

Yep got it in the final programme. Not sure how to scan and put it on here though, mainly because I'm computer illiterate and unsure where my programme is (though I could find it if nobody else has it to hand)

[The Man With A Stick]

Definitely in the Swansea programme, I can scan it on Monday when I'm back in the office.

Re Nike adverts, I was in Cardiff that summer and in a shoe shopthere was a brilliant poster of Peter Withe celebrating in the net after his goal v Bayern (IIRC it was pretty big too). I went in and asked if I could have it when they had finished but obviously I never heard off them.

Did anybody else ever see that poster?

Just scanning it in, will PM you when I have it.

I remember around the same time there was also a great Nike ad with an aerial view of Hackney marches.
