We look forward to our 'guest' players continuing to be an important and integral part of the Aston Villa Old Stars team and among the ‘guest’ players to have turned out for the team so far in 2009 include –
| Darren Roberts - ex Wolves striker |
| Richard Sneekes – ex WBA midfielder |
| Clyde Wijnhard – ex Leeds Utd striker |
Team Manager Chris Nicholl has enjoyed an 'unbeaten' record since his appointment in 2008 and everyone is hoping that can continue throughout our 50th Anniversary season.
For those who have yet to come and watch the team, we appeal to you to come and enjoy a game. We guarantee you’ll get a great welcome from everyone and most importantly, we’re sure that you’ll enjoy it. All our fixtures are played in a good spirit, albeit competitive.
So here's to another great year of football, a lot of fun as always and of course, the fundraising that helps so many less fortunate than ourselves, particularly children.
We look forward to seeing you for another enjoyable and 'history making' season.
Kindest Regards,
| Neil Rioch | Chris Nicholl | Karl Court |
| Chairman | Team Manager | General Secretary |
