Title: Villa 3 Leeds 0 - Twenty Years Ago Today
Post by: CT on March 24, 2016, 04:23:02 PM
What a day.

In The Torch with loud, but good natured Leeds fans, great build up.

Savo's goal. The team performance. The whole thing.

It was perfect.

Bloody hell. 20 years. I was there and if someone said in 20 years time we'd be relegated without winning another trophy  I'd never have believed it.

The win against Manchester United two years previously was probably the more memorable occasion, but thumping Leeds was by far the better performance.

I don't think we even thought we'd be waiting 2 years for another trophy after that performance let alone 20.

Selective memory?

Quite understandable, perhaps a touch of PTSD?

Agreed.

94 was special because it was our first trip their in years and also the total arrogance of the United fans who thought they only had to turn up to win.

The Leeds final was one of the few times we've actually strutted around Wembley like we owned the place.

Watched it live on TV at The Dickens Inn in Philadelphia.

The place was full of Glory Hunting Man Utd ****** (their match against Spurs was on afterwards).

Great times, played Liverpool the following week in the FA Semi at a 3/4 full Old Trafford, ticket prices were not kind if I remember and there were a lot of empty seats. Played well in that game as well but Fowler had the Jonah on us............

A complete performance and took a decent Leeds side apart that day.  Seemed like we floated back up the motorway to Birmingham after the game.

A great experience for us Villa fans. The only time Leeds got anywhere near us was the support before kick off.

Has there ever been a better song at Wembley than the "Dwight Yorke" sung that day?
