One programme ad that has always stuck in my mind is from 1983 I think. The Villa squad posing proudly with their brand new club sponsored Austin Maestros. I also seem to remember the first time we had Mita on our shirts was for the live Friday night game with Liverpool around the same time. Probably the first season it was allowed for TV games. Suddenly the ground was full of Mita ads and the programme that night was more like a photo copier catalogue.
Anyone else remember the Ansells advert that was on TV straight after the final?
Thank you Clampy! I love you.
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.
For an idea how much football has changed, I have a copy of the reissue the Evening Mail did of their edition the day after we won it, and it got about a third of the front page.These days (for any club) it'd be a 20 page special.
