They are the last AVFC players to win an FA cup winners medal.
Yes 65 years ago on this day AVFC beat the busby Babes at Wembley.
Does anyone know if any of our hero's
are still with us?
There must be a small chance that one or two in their mid 80's are still here.
I hope that the management have shared this date with the players.
WE play MU on Saturday and a similar result would be a fitting climax.

The Very Old Villan.

I was 6 then and hadn’t ventured to Villa Park.
Sims, Lynn, Dugdale, and Mcparland I do remember from my early Days supporting Villa.

McParland is still alive I think he is in his late eighties now but will live long in-our hearts particularly as it was against Utd.

£2.20 an hour.
Thats cheap.
Try Whitstable. £3.00 in some of the C/ P.
However we have a long sea view road where you can park for free.
No limit. Park Monday return 2/ 3/ 4 weeks later for free.
Peter Mc was everybodys favourite.
Pace, power and fearless.
My type of player.
