An unused Villa bath towel from 1993, found in a second hand shop in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. Price: 70p

Probably from our preseason trip here to play Tokyo (then Yomiuri) Verdy.

I love my Villa Park painting from 1990, it's a view of the ground as it was then from a North Stand POV.

I've got a few bricks from the old Holte End, in walls in the back garden and one above the patio doors on a metal lintel the midlle of the header bricks. I had 2 holte end turnstile doors , but unfortunately they are no longer , succumbed to the weather .

I also managed to get hold of one of the railings that are outside the Holte Pub , pre-install ( knew a delivery driver, don't ask ! )





Edit - forgot about shirts. Signed Paul McGrath when I meet him at the Irish Centre (Digbeth) , Olaf's leaving present West Ham away and shirt signed by Charlie Aitken and Shaun Teale when I played at Villa Park charity match.

Ah! That's the one. My letter from Sir GT thanking me for my letter of support printed in the Meaning Evil written on the day he was removed from his position as our manager second time round. I really need to look for it in my divorce boxes.

Great post that mate, unfortunate about the turnstiles however but I suppose that is typical of English weather!
