Was it signed?

I got one of those last year. Really great. From my Man United supporting best mate...

This year, a 'trapper' hat and a college hoodie

A 'Keep calm and follow Villa' coaster off my Mom and Dad.

You would need to be on medication to keep calm following the Villa.

I had a pint pot off the missus. Here it is in its usual state.

Yellow hoops? I had that back in the day. I loved the '83-'85 home top. I would kick a ball round my mum and dad's back garden pretending to be Steve McMahon. I met him years later when my ex fiance's little brother was a youngster at Swindon and he was manager there. He is a miserable c**t who showed no affection for the Villa.

I still had my photo taken with him though.

That's the one. Mark Walters scored a brilliant goal in Moscow against Spartak while wearing it.

I posted a while back on some thread or other that my abiding memory of that kit is the grainy footage from that Moscow game from Central News. In fact it is my only memory of that kit for me. I think we switched to a white top and blue shorts the next season (it was an improvement to be fair) but kept the home kit the same.

Sadly not. It may have been purchased in Wolverhampton.

my wife got me the aston villa gardening set! 2 trowels and a vicious looking mini rake. They really do put some shit through the shop.

Nice t-shirt with Peter Withe scoring "that" goal. Sadly I'm not a medium so will need to get it exchanged. This situation was made worse by my brother who bought it me saying he can get in the small!

The only way I can keep my glass half full is to keep my glass empty.

Just treated myself to this. Hope it's easier to read than those Chronicles.

Received a Ramones-style punk t-shirt with Withe, Mortimer, Cowans and Morley emblazoned on the front.

Laura Hawkins, the club archivist, sorted me out the original print of of the 2000/2001 team photo. Well chuffed.
