I know it will end up in the memories thread but more people need to appreciate it. This is classic, and of course topical. I love Sir Brian Little.
-
Brilliant
Sir Brian and a Chico special at a packed vp didn't get any better
-
John Burridge debut but Andy Gray from Dundee (lol) wasn't signed in time. Brian Little will always be my first hero, was such a brilliant player and how he never got more than 15 minutes for England is a disgrace.
-
Love it. Hugh Johns commentary, too.
-
Was this the game where the attendance was 53,782?

It would certainly been in excess of 50k

Chico's last great moment as a Villa player although he did see the season out with Ross and Aitken.
Saunders was ruthless in that aspect once you were shot you were gone. And don't argue with the manger.
Great Vid and great match. I couldn't speak for days afterwards. It was a cup final and better atmosphere than Wembley.
-
Great to see the old Witton End in all its glory. I was in my usual spot down there for that game, just to the left of the goal as you look.

I was there in the upper Trinity with my Blues supporting mate! Kenny Burns was an absolute thug that day - how did he not get sent off for a shocking two-footed challenge? Sir Brian was excellent that day and scored the decider!

First tine I had been to a villa v Blues game and loved it, agree with the comment re thug Burns
-
Burns carries the look of a comedy wrestler from World of Sport throughout the match.
-
Thanks for sharing. Never seen this before, my birth year. It looks like we battered them that day.
Players were tough back then.
-
I thought Burns looked like that bloke from Celebrity Juice.

Agreed. Good player though
-
Good player because the opposition were too scared of him. Not a bad centre forward though
-
If only Burns had tried to break Little's leg as well, maybe he wouldn't have scored.
I swear after our equaliser one of the Blues fans claps. If so, very sporting, although maybe they were just trying to encourage their lot.

I think the segregation wasn't as strong then. In the game we won 2-1 when Evans scored that amazing winner at their place I noticed quite a few Villa celebrating in their Railway End.

If you look at the game in October 1978 - the same happened there, loads of Villa supporters celebrating in the Railway End when Andy Gray scores.
Indeed my first ever introduction to this fixture was in September 1968 and I stood in the Railway End amongst scattered Rags' fans. ( I won't mention the score !)

Don't!!

Hated him with a passion. Francis you had to grudgingly admire but burns nothing more than a thug
