Charlie Athersmith (Aston Villa; England)

[The Mad Hatter]

Hi all,

I'm not much of a soccer collector, but I recently discovered I'm a descendent of former Aston Villa and England player Charlie Athersmith.

I also discovered he has a card produced by Futera back in 1999.

Just wondering if anybody had seen this set, and if so, is it hard to come by and what potential prices might be attached to this card. It looks like it was part of a special/commemoration set for Aston Villa.

Here's what it looks like (it's bloody eerie as my dad in the 1980's with his moustache is an absolute spitting image of the fellow...)

If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Cheers,
Chris
