People writing in to ask which shampoo players use, males from all over the country asking for female pen pals. I’d like to think some long and happy relationships came from that pen pal activity…. Most bizarrely of all, this Town programme prints a request from a Villa fan in Stowmarket looking to organize travel to games for other Suffolk-based Villa fans. Different times.

And there was seemingly no problem in publishing the home addresses of people writing in too!

That is correct. Villa at home, December 1977. Just 20p for the programme.

I feel a what shampoo would Town players use thread coming on. Tomas Holy stood Head and Shoulders above everyone else. Mick McCarthy would be Pantene because that’s how much he spent on the squad. | | | |

Agreed. And the exec boxes now, with the advertising boards on top look tacky and a bit tired. | |

I used to like those 'in focus' features where it seemed every players favourite food was Steak and Chips and their favourite music was Diana Ross or Genesis. |  |

It’s always amusing to watch The Big Match Revisited and hear Brian Moore reading out the exact addresses of members of the public who had written in.
Also, can anybody identify the Town player with some taping on his knee in the image on the front of that programme? Two classic kits on show there. |  |

Looks like Les Tibbott who would come in as a full-back whenever Burley or Mills were injured |  | | |

You have to remember even in the 70s thousands of people didn't have a home phone so the only way of contacting was a letter, hence the name and address was required |  | | |

He used to include the full postcode as well! |  | | |

Fair enough, but did they need to publish those? | |

I was clearing out some stuff the other day and found that exact same programme, funnily enough. My old man was a Villa fan and that was one of the first senior games he took me to. |  |

Also, the standard answer to “Who would you most like to meet?” was either The Queen or The Pope |  | | |

Was given a bundle of 70,s programmes as a Christmas present. Having got rid of mine to a collector for a small fee some years ago, have enjoyed perusing through them these last few days.
The grammar is quite old school and the articles within them rather dated but by God, the team sheets on the back of some of them are a who’s who of the great and the good of the time.
Lovely stuff. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |
