I’d be interested to know what folk remember of this event – playing at Villa Park must have been a great experience for the lads. Was it a one off, or a yearly thing? Did any other local teams take part?
Thanks to David, as always, feel free to comment or BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.
