Sorry to be Mr. Picky, but I think the Good Friday win at Wrexham in 1972, was a 3:00pm kick-off, so not a night match.The good news is, that Villa's last game of that season was a re-arranged game v. Chesterfield at 7:30...on a Friday night!

Pretty sure we won and for this schoolboy at the time it was anything but boring.
