Written by Dan on May 4, 2010

Think you could score a goal at the Holte End? Have you ever dreamed of walking out of the same tunnel as Dennis Mortimer and Martin Laursen?

To celebrate the end of another great season as Aston Villa Football Club’s Official Travel Partner, Thomas Cook Sport is teaming up with Aston Villa Central to offer one AVFC supporter and friends a once in a lifetime, money can’t buy chance to play on the hallowed turf of Villa Park.

The winner will get to bring a team of 10 to play in a seven a-side tournament at Villa Park on Wednesday 12th May. Winners will also receive hospitality at the ground, and members of the team that goes on to be victorious in the tournament will each receive an Official, yet to be unveiled 2010/11 Aston Villa FC home shirt and a medal for taking part. (There’s a possible sneaky glimpse of the new home shirt at the bottom of the page)

If you think you deserve a free kick to play on the famous pitch, just answer the following question:

Question: Who is the current Manager of the club?

Answer:

  1. Ron Atkinson
  2. Martin O’Neill
  3. John Gregory

Email your answer, along with your name, address, contact e-mail address and contact number to:

*** CLOSED ***

to arrive by 7pm (BST) Thursday May 6th. I will draw the winner at random and contact you by email. (Terms and conditions apply, please see below).

Good Luck!!

A Cheeky Glimpse Of The 2010/11 Home Shirt
