Bought in the 1970's, I have been known to wear this.

I have one similar which I will proudly wear at my daughters wedding next August

I found a few packs of Terry's photos the other day. He was often on the coach we went to aways with in the late 70s and my dad new him quite well so probably bought them direct off him. Some of them are superb.

I got in touch with him after he took a couple of photos of me and another H&V poster at a forum for Nigel Spink's testimonial in 1988. One of us with Allan Evans and Andy Gray and one with Spink and SGT. He sent me some large copies of them straight away and wouldn't accept any money for them.

I have a cup final medallion from the Chelsea game in 2000 but can't bear to look at it as it makes me sad :(

Although I was only a nipper, I remember him being a lovely bloke. He really was a top fella. Just found out the packs, one pack is the Villa goals from THAT Liverpool game, the other pack is random Villa stuff, all have the Terry Weir embossed stamp thing on them. Can't think of the correct term for the stamps.

If any one is sad enough to want to see them i'll take pics of some of them.

Somewhere I have a framed photo of myself holding the European Cup. Taken during a session at VP in summer 1982- cost £5 if I remember rightly

I have one with the fa cup - sadly not from our triumph but I was walking past the transport museum in 87 and saw the cup was on display and pics were £5 so I could not resist getting my hands on it :)

Regarding terry weir , there was something comforting seeing him run around to the other end at half time - please post your pics of his pws.

Classic example of utter tat becoming a prized possession. My mom used to buy me all sorts of Villa tat she saw at car boots etc, and this one of the last things she bought me shortly before she passed away.

I really regret not buying it in the villa sale , I have many villa books from down the years but should have got that .

This is something i'd be interested if anyone knew anything about. It was my dad's and I reckon is from the 70s(ish) simply based on I can't remember not having it. Anyone know what it is?

Royal Antwerp UEFA away programme from 75-76 season. I believe these are rare? We got stuffed 4-1 in that game - we were 4-0 down at Half-Time, then Ray Graydon scored a second-half consolation goal. I think we lost the home game as well 0-1. So, not a great start to our European campaign!
