I started watching the '81-'82 season. I thought I was a bit of an anorak when it came to early eighties football but I don't remember Rodney Fern who popped up a few times scoring goals for Rotherham.

But you must remember Rodney Fern playing for Leicester Damo?  Didn't he have the nickname Marty Feldman, for obvious reasons?

Here he is.

We were hardly ever on the box back then. It seemed like wall to wall Wolves and Albion on ATV.

Wolves were as unattractive then as they were under "Irish" Mick.

ATV destroyed a lot of their original tapes from the 70's which is really annoying. I think other regions like London, Yorkshire etc. weren't quite so reckless.

I thought about watching some of the 1976/77 season, but the only games I think they'd definitely show of Villa would be against Blues and I think we lost them.

Maybe they'd show us against the Baggies too?

I think a lot of midlands footage from those days that does exist is from Londons Big Match archives - they used to show brief highlights from other regions

The promotion game against the Baggies was on BBC Match of the day - missed it I was away at Duke of Edinburgh over Easter. 

Pretty sure  that both games against them when they got promoted were both night matches.  The away at the Hawthorns definitely was, think Giles was possibly their manager at the time.  If  I am not daft  can recall  playing  them   on a Monday or Tuesday last game of the season at home one year, after QPR on a Friday so not to clash  with the cup final Mancs  v Scousers.

As for the Blues 75/76 was on ATV (ITV or whatever) home and away - the game with the Andy Gray winner at  the Sty was on ITV.  In fact cannot remember a Match  of the Day Villa/Blues before the 80's.

I have on tape extended highlights of Villa 2-0 Man Utd from Feb 1975 when we were promoted from the old Division 2 later that season. The only trouble is the tape is in Phillips 2000 format - not sure if I could get this transferred now?? Would need a Phillips machine from that era to copy from.
