Vital Youth Team
Thomas....hi. The great Alan Deakin wrote an article about me in the Sports Argus after I had followed Villa into Europe to play three friendlies in 1966. I still have that article, its my only ever 'claim to fame. I have always wondered whether any other Villa fan had been abroad to see a Villa team play before I went in August 1966. VTIDSadly the late Alan Deakin leading the team out at for an FA Cup game at Anfield in 1967 which was my first ever away game with my dad.
We lost 1-0 to an Ian St John goal but it was still a very special day that I will always remember........Thanks, Oul Fella.View attachment 28695
