God and Sir Graham talking about the 89/90 Season

[wookster]

There was  a good interview , last week I think, on Talksport with Paul too.

Was great to hear that his fondest football memories were playing for us and that he always uses 'We' when refering to the club.

Thanks Ger it's a brilliant post a big thumbs up from me.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Any chance of typing up the interview please as I can't hear radio due to deafness.

[Legion]

All 40'47" of it!?

[robbo1874]

I'd forgotten it was mcgrath that fvcked up when francis got his hattrick.

ah well, still one of my favourite players over the years!

[Deano's Mullet]

Great interview, fantastic season. I don't think we ever recovered from losing 3-0 at Coventry nor the 2-1 home defeat to Man City although we had a fantastic win at Highbury a couple of weeks later. Typicla of the Villa in that period that we followed a relegation battle with a title shot followed by a relegation battle followed by another shot at the title two years later. Exciting days.

Wimbledon at home was also particularly painful. That, coming a few days after a fantastic night at Tottenham where I was convinced we were going to win the title. Villa eh?

[robbo1874]

exactly why we follow them.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

With all of these hosting and bittorrent technology, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a Villa archive - where members can upload and download all of their "off air" Villa-related TV and radio programmes - I'd love to hear some of the old BRMB sports forums, interviews and some old games, and would have a couple of things to contribute.

Does anyone have sufficient time and web-savvy to attempt it?

 That was only of the only games my Mum came to,I banned her after that game. Didn't Platt miss an early penalty at nil nil?

[Havencheese]

A great interview.

This was a period where I'd only just become fascinated with English football and The Villa a couple of years previous. Back then there was little information about Div One football and the Villa floating about over here. Pre internet, with an hour highlights package on  monday night, a few magazines released a week or two after print from the UK and not much more than a snippet in the local papers. That's all changed of course, so it's amazing to hear these two discussing that era.

Cheers.

[The Man With A Stick]

Great listen, cheers for the link.

[Dave Javu]

Thanks to Ger for the find and to placeforparks for the link that automatically dumped the file on this technophobes phone.

Really entertaining stuff. Pissed off my wife when I had my headphones on for three quarters of an hour last night though.

[OzVilla]

Great is a very over used word in sport, but Paul McGrath was a truely great player.  Best i've seen in a Villa shirt.

Sir Graham is wonderful to listen too aswell.  He still sounds so in control, almost like a soothing uncle that watches over the Villa. 

Thanks for posting this,  These too will be remembered by Villa fans for a long, long time to come.

[cdward]

Thanks Ger, that was a great listen.
It is obvious there is a great deal of mutual respect between GOD and SGT.
It just reminds me of what being a Villa fan is all about, we often seem to be the nearly men, and the what if.
I'd also forgotten how quickly a team that was relegated had been turned around to become title contenders, hopefully we see the same again this season or next.
Great to hear the two of them talking about that team, there really were some great players, McGrath, Platt, Cowans.
