If I close my eyes I am right back there in the top tier behind  'THE GOAL' as an eleven year old. My memories are Nigel Spink warming up in goal as opposed to Jimmy Rimmer  before the game (who I guess was getting intensive treatment.). Also the goal and the final whistle. Also the heat.

In a way the atmosphere was not too dissimilar to the OT 77 game against Everton.  The nail biting part was definitely the same.  Have said  it before the heat is one of the things that I actually do remember clearly. 

Am sure we will all see an great day with the Villa in the next 5 years.  Its our time.
