Just watched extended highlights as I do every year.  You simply cannot watch it too many times.

At some stage today I shall go down to my treasure box, take out my match ticket, smile and remember my old man who never lived to see it.  He gave me the love of the Villa and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Happy Rotterdam Day all you forty plussers.

A day never to be forgotten. Too young to travel for this so watched it segregated bythe adults who were more nervous than we were,  my Dad and his pals they watched at home while me and the other kids/teenagers watched it around a friends house.

I can still remember running home after we'd won to watch them lift the trophy to find men hugging each orher, i recall that unnerved me a bit.

Can't think I ever had a better day as a Villa fan. I remember Rotterdam that day was warm and cloudless much like the UK today. It's depressing to think future generations of Villa fans are unlikely to see it repeated the way European football has evolved.

The greatest ever day being a villa fan only got back to Brum from Rotterdam a few hours before sir Dennis held the cup to the thousands in the square

We have Rotterdam Day, the tramps across the city have Stern John Day. If anything sums things up, it's that.
