There's always a chance that it was stolen to order.  I don't know how it was displayed, but however it was there needs to be a serious review for the future.

Lovely pics Andy.
Uncle Frank is the player on far right, back row in the team photo, and to the left (as we look) of Billy Walker who is shaking hands with...is it Prince Edward?

Very precious programme that.
Did it go from Villa Park, Dave?

Stolen from someone's house in a burglary, I believe. Police asked the club who asked us to spread the word.

Cheers Dave.
Clearly not the Belbroughton theft then, which mentions programmes from 50s, 60s.

(Interesting - the Belbroughton address: HOCKLEY BROOK Lane...family lived in Hockley (Brook) B19.)

Don't tell me, they put it on display in a shop window.
When will they ever learn ?
I fully understand the historical connotations of this statement, but you should be able to display it where you like without some thieving Mongral scumbag etc etc.
