Help needed please! 1981 civic reception photos
« on: August 08, 2019, 05:21:54 PM »
I am looking for photographs of the 1981 league champions civic reception at the council house.
I have an audio recording of Tony Butler reporting from the council house for BRMB. My mom taped it off the radio whilst me and dad attended the celebration. Its 19 minutes long, a unique piece of Villa history that survived on a cassette in a drawer for 38 years, and I now want to put it on Youtube along with a slideshow of photographs of the day.
Ive found a few photos on the internet but I would really like photos taken by fans, of the crowds, the open top bus, the council house balcony etc.
Obviously i will credit you if you can provide anything.

Thank you, up the Villa

How about this? It’s a vinyl Lp by bbc radio Birmingham produced at the time.

I was at the 1981 civic reception but I didn't know there was a vinyl LP. I do however have the BBC WM vinyl LP of the European Cup final win with match commentary on one side and civic reception interviews on the other side.

My main memory is of Ron Saunders taking the microphone.

"Are you ready? I will now smile!"

Cue mass cheers.
