Aston Villa supporters now have the opportunity to order our special commemorative edition of the matchday programme to mark the club's 150th anniversary match against West Ham United.
The historic 84-page programme for Friday night's FA Cup third-round tie sold out both online and at Villa Park due to overwhelming demand, with a number of supporters potentially missing out on getting their copy on matchday.
But fans have another chance to secure a piece of history by ordering the souvenir edition online for home delivery via the link below...
The anniversary edition features gold foiling on the cover, helping to hero the crest which appeared on the team's commemorative kit.
As part of the club's celebrations around the match, the programme is priced at £1.50, plus P&P.
Orders are accepted until 5pm on Friday, January 17 and dispatched directly to fans w/c Monday, January 27. Limited to one programme per transaction.
150th Anniversary Programme
The special edition will transport you from our founding in 1874 through to the present day, celebrating the players, matches and moments that have made Aston Villa a club renowned all over the world.
In addition to the historical content in the programme, Villans can enjoy a feature interview with David James.
Our former goalkeeper played for the club in the last FA Cup final at the old Wembley before moving to our third-round opponents West Ham.
“It was the first time I'd cried in many, many years. It was just a really sad feeling to lose that final with Villa," he reflected in our feature interview when speaking about the loss to Chelsea in 2000.
“In retrospect, you look at it and go, ‘There are only two teams in the final and everyone else in the whole of the English football pyramid system wants to be there'.
“You look back at it and think, ‘I've had the experience of being part of a team that took Villa to the final'. We did our best, even if our best wasn't good enough. You can look back now and be proud of that but at the time, the defeat was very hard to take.”
There's also special columns from regular contributors Garry Thompson and Ian Taylor as they reflect on what the club means to them.
