I remember pouring over most of these programmes shown on this clip, as a kid. I vividly remember the paraphernalia guy because as a kid it drew me deeper into this Villa world from which there would be no escape.

I recall it was used for several games.

Edit: The long term memory is still functioning. A quick check and I found that we used it on 27th August 1975 (Small photo of Ian Ross shaking hands at Wembley). There was another game it was used with a small photo of Ron Saunders and Eric Morecambe.

Because we are 'The Villa' so we can go wherever we want and do whatever we want. Going into space was probably just to annoy Small Heath fans just to show it was something else we had achieved that they hadn't.

Plus we aren't scared of weird looking creatures from another planet because we all know a few blue noses.

A supporter had been to Cape Canaveral on holiday.  Times have changed a bit.

That's Birmingham Mail level clickbaitery, decades before clickbait was invented!
