Happy Rotterdam Day All.

Also my wedding anniversary (and Ian B formally of this parish too I seem to remember).

I've been making my 6 year-old watch the Peter Withe moment so he starts to get a feeling of who we really are and not what we've become.

At this time I was probably just thinking about getting out of bed at the Astoria Hotel on Martelaarsgracht after a night on the town in Amsterdam.  The next time I saw that bed was when it was light the next morning!

I only ever really remember that Ansells beer advert saying 'Congratulations Villa' after the game. That's always stuck in my head for some reason.

It was my first trip out of the country. It was good.

Can we also have a 'Happy Rotherham day' this season?

And mine, the old guy pats the dog and says "They've done it!" and then goes off down the pub.

I still get a shiver down my spine every time I watch this, just as the ball goes across the box towards Withe.

I was only 12 so didn't fully grasp the magnitude of it. I also just assumed Villa always won trophies, I soon learned!

I remember that advert as well, we taped the game and whenever I re-watched it I always watched the advert as well. I also remember Clough constantly referring to Villa as "us" and "we". We go on about bias by commentators now, they have nothing on Cloughie that night.
