Remember going to that game on the coach.
It broke down in the Wembley car park so we had to wait around for 3 hours for the replacement to come.
Got talking to a Spurs fan, bit rough, but, actually, quite a decent sort.

I went to this game. I remember seeing Tony Morley on the pitch an hour before the game sporting a blonde hair colour and a white jacket. He looked like he was getting used to the idea he was a Champion.

It's a wonder that the FA haven't trademarked the term "curtain raiser"

I remember being on holiday in Denmark with my parents and listening to a vary crackly English commentary on the game on the radio in my dad's caravanette. I remember being stunned that Ray Clemence was now playing for Spurs.

Sadly not. My old man says he is too old to be driving a caravanette all over Europe these days.

Andy Blair played his first proper game. We went the Greyhound in Hendonon the coach from the vine, took a couple of spuds with us to the game. Great day, Falco scored 2 for them if I am right

Ray Clemence did not impress in that game. Always thought Shilton was a better keeper.

I always remember Mark Falco as being a target of abuse for Villa fans back in the eighties. Along with Russell Osman.

I wonder why they didn't go to penalties back then, anyone know?

My main memories are seeing a few Spurs fans getting chased and taking a right kicking under the Villa end, and I mean a real violent kicking, and shitting myself. Well I was only 11. And as we were staying in London dad having the bright idea we'd get the tube back. Which was all (or seemed to be to 11 year old me) Spurs fans and us, a family of 4. I think I shit myself again on the journey back to London.

I went with my Brother who is a Spurs fan to this game. Unfortunately I was in the Spurs end and they knew I was a Villa fan and fine with it (helped being with around 15 Spurs fans who were mates of my Brother and me).
