Happy Rotterdam Day indeed !! Only this week I was having a tidy up and found my match ticket and plane ticket. A day with memories that will stay forever.
-
The memory of this day, and also the days either side travelling by Villa Travellers Club through Europe will never fade.
-
Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end.....but they did.

HAPPY ROTTERDAM DAY :) :) :) :) :)

In 3 years we'll be back in the European Cup.

I think my programme is in my parents loft with a lot of old Villa programmes. The only memento I have in my house is the pennant given out to everyone on the coaches. A cheaply made old thing that is priceless to me.

On my wall is the actual pennant given to Dennis Mortimer by Paul Breitner - if i knew how to upload pictures on here i would post it

Happy Rotterdam Day, I put this on FB and you could feel the jealousy coming from the rags and tesco bags.

What a great day, still got the ellerman travel documents with rail and ferry tickets. Match ticket also, but didnt get a programme. Still got a clog given to me from some lady while having a few beers by a little stream near the ground.

A day of wonder! Anyone play in that mass 'Fans friendly' on the Feyernoord training pitch in the afternoon? About 60 of us v 10 Bayern fans. A good all round tactical performance,man to men marking and with everyone giving 110% resulted in a narrow 32 -1 victory for us (their's was offside and didn't cross the line according to the 20 defenders on it!). Happy days.
-
oh yes the footy before versus the jermans (yes i know its spelt with a g not a j) i was one of the 5 goalies we had one at one stage there goal was deemed not over the line by a russian hot dog seller who held up a mustard filled hot dog and it was ruled not over the line. so really it was 32-0. quite simply the greatest day of my life.
-
I watched some of that.
-
Not sure if it was a parallel game but there was a 150 a side game on a big open park space in the city centre near the Double Diamond pub. A very, very boozy afternoon.
It was generally pretty good natured but a couple of pitch invasions led to our opening game in defence of the trophy against Besiktas being played behind closed doors.
-
Regarding the picture posted by The Man With A Stick, along with the trophy is Tony Barton holding an arrow, a feather or some kebab meat on a skewer? As for the picture posted by Mortimer's Bear, it is good to see the ground looking a lot more full than on the TV footage.
-
Damo70, Bayern had slightly more fans than we did, and it is their end you see in the great photo by Mortimer's Bear.
-
I was in the front row of the top part of the stand behind the goal where we scored. I think the problem is that the main TV cameras were facing the one stand that was relatively sparsely occupied.
-
Another thing was that a lot of us had tickets for those empty seats but went and stood behind the goal instead. If you look closely you will see that behind the goal in the upper tier it was truly packed.
-
my ticket was for the terrace but it was so full they would not let us stand so me and my pal had to sit

Dave, that is exactly what we did too. The only time in my life I have paid for a seat and sneaked into a cheaper section.
IIRC you had to travel by train to have a standing ticket and we went over on the coaches, hence seats in the upper tier. Best decision of my life to move!
-
Great picture from Mortimer. Not quite the view I had, as I was higher up, but great to see nontheless.
My abidng memory is the Bayern fans singing 'Argentina' in relation to the then Falklands conflict. Also having won, being ushered onto the coach very quickly and not really having the chance to celebrate until we got on the ferry.
Happy days

Anyone got any good pics of the team with the European Cup? Sort of like the ones above but in colour and better quality?

A couple of great shots of Tony Morley. Strolling around casually before the game with his hands in his pockets and later giving someone in the crowd the the thumbs up whilst lining up.

How many did we take that day??

I think over the years I have heard 10,000 to 12,000 but I may be wrong.

Think it was 14,000 tickets sold
