Port Vale 2-3 Aston Villa John Rudge Testimonial Game 1993
« on: March 19, 2014, 10:56:14 PM »
 

Never seen the goals from this game  before,  a pre-season friendly in summer of 1993. Goals for McGrath, Townsend and Daley. Anyone remember this?

I went to it. Noticed what a ramshackle ground it had become.

Three of us went up in the car, a warm evening spent outside a pub just off J15 after the game.
I think BFR was away sorting the Guy Whittingham deal .

I was at this game,must admit i had forgot all about it. All i can remember is, it was a nice warm sunny evening and as someone mentioned earlier,the ground from my last visit had become somewhat ramshackle.

I didn't go to this one but I went to Walsall where I'm pretty sure Whittingham made his debut and scored.
