Title: Villa on ESPN Classic
Post by: cdbearsfan on April 23, 2013, 04:37:44 AM: They are showing us against some West German team from a match in 1982.

If, for some reason, you're not awake at 4.35am, it's repeated tomorrow (well, today... Tuesday) afternoon at 3.20.

An eventful Boxing Day trip to Chelsea is on at 11.05pm immediately followed by a match at Everton. If you can't be bothered to watch, I believe Legion may be able to point you in the direction of a brief video of one of the key moments.

Have said on here before the same, but he proved to be a master signing. Saw him at Bodymoor and his influence on that team was massive, was a real winner, like many others.
