Class Of '82 To Be Commended

Last updated : 02 September 2009 By Tom Vickers
They were the group of men who acheived the greatest feat in Villa's illustrious history.

The European Cup winning team of 1982 are legends in the eyes of every Villan and now they are to be commended by the National Football Museum at a cermony in Birmingham.

The greatest ever Claret and Blue side will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on September 22, so why not go along to see your heroes?

There have only ever been four teams recognised in this manner before and it is sure to be a special event.

Every member of the successful Villa side will be there with the exception of Kenny Swain who is unable to attend.

The Hall of Fame is actually overseen by Tom Finney, Trevor Brooking, Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson so you may get the chance to meet a few more of the game's legends.
