Villa's European Cup-winning squad will be back together at our match against Swansea City later this month - to salute three players who missed out on the final against Bayern Munich.

Brendan Ormsby, Terry Donovan and Ivor Linton were all involved in games along the Road to Rotterdam but didn't make the 16-man squad for the final.

That meant they didn't receive winner's medals - but 33 years on, that situation is about to be rectified.

Great news. Looking forward to paying tribute to the heroes of 1982 again.

They will be signing autographs in the Family Fun Zone from 1pm.

Good stuff - but I thought I'd chucked a seven and no-one had told me.

Excellent news. If they're giving out medals to people who were involved in the earlier rounds, but not the Final, would Saunders not be eligible for one too?

Good point.

Great news, spent an evening in the company of Terry watching a Grimsby match last season and he's a lovely bloke who is still very fond of Villa. He said since Lerner bought the club he's always made the squad of '82 very welcome at Villa Park.

It's a bit John Terry in his kit on the pitch if you ask me.

Nice for them but will they really think they deserved it?

Terry Donovan scored a couple of goals early on, so probably deserves something.

And he has a rather attractive daughter, so deserves something there too!

a more interesting thought, is would he accept a medal, I wonder? My guess is he wouldn't

In my eyes he won it for us anyway

Not as many Legends available for signing as led to believe, but still happy.
