A Match To Remember

Last updated : 21 July 2009 By Tom Vickers
Ever fancied taking to the field with Villa legends such as Tony Morley, Paul Merson and Gordon Cowans? Well, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

A local football team in Burntwood, Staffordshire, are all set to pit their wits against an Aston Villa Old Stars XI all in the name of charity and you could not only be there, but put in a cameo 10 minute role against your heroes.

The game will take place at 2.30pm on Sunday August 2 and with three places in the local side up for grabs via auction, you should be quick to make sure you secure your piece of the action.

After the game, all of the Old Stars will be available for pictures and autographs not to mention a chat about all things Villa.

All you need to do is contact Paul Clarke at
ice2k43@hotmail.com and get the ball rolling. He only asks that you are over 30 and have a clean bill of health so why not e-mail now?

You will have to complete a couple of Thursday night training sessions but that is a small price to pay for a game against some true Villa legends.
