Brian little's mullet andy gray's goals

More of a lion or feather cut than a mullet I think.

[UsualSuspect]

The breathtaking football we played in 76-77, and the tonkings we handed out to so many teams at VP that season, not just the 5-1 against Liverpool.

I still maintain that was the most entertaining Villa side I've ever seen.

Totally agree

My first game was the opener in 1976 against West ham.

The demolition of Liverpool still rates as the best 45 minutes football i've seen

Villa Park by day, Barbarellas by night. Never a better time to be teenager.

Brown 1100 "deluxe", a gift from Alex Alex Cropley on this site. Drank more oil than petrol

Got done for speeding in it, driving down to Bournemouth to see Villa in the second division

Totally agree. What a great time 1974-1977 was to be a Villa fan and then capped off in the early eighties when something even more special happened.

As they say today  Respect

Done for speeding in an Austin Allegro 1100

I used to shit myself everytime mine went over 30

Mind you the Metro wasn't much better!

[Dave Clark Five]

Paying 7p to get the special bus from the Priory to Villa Park. Football Special trains from Platform 12 at New St with half of those on board jumping off at the destination before the train had stopped.

Must have been going down a very steep hill

Agree with the last comment. I was only 12 at the time but that was a truly great season.

Ipswich 5 - 2 with a Gray hat trick stands out for me

Was that the game where their keeper,Laurie Sival (?) lost a fair few teeth in a challenge with Gray?
