Next year marks the 150th anniversary of Aston Villa and a unique book is being published to commemorate the occasion.

Squads & Souvenirs is a limited-edition collection of team and squad photos from the 1880s to the current 2023/24 season, together with images of claret and blue memorabilia down the years.

Compiled by club journalist and former Villa News & Record editor Rob Bishop and avid Villa collector Jon Farrelly, the book can be pre-ordered now! Publication is scheduled for early December.

Anyone ordering by Monday, November 13 can have their name, or that of a friend, listed in this impressive publication.

In addition, 50 per cent of the profits will be donated to the Aston Villa Former Players’ Club.
