Came across this. First 5 pages of a 24 page edition. If it comes out OK, let me know if you want me to post the rest.

Fantastic! still got mine at home somewhere

Seem to remember on the back page there's a list of Villa's youth players who are our next generation of stars - including photos of Hopkins and Blake

That picture of Gary Shaw on the snowy pitch after the last game against Middlesbrough brings back memories. Snow on the last home match of the season.

Tremendous to see this again, I cut the main photos and write-ups out and made up a photograph album type scrapbook (and also did the same the following year for the ECF) they have both remained in pride of place on my bookshelf (in either my office or lounge - dependant on where I've been living) over the last 35 years.

Still come across mine when "doing a tidy" and sit down and read all the results basking in the memories. Wasn't there an anniversary repro-copy brought out as well?
