Title: League Cup Final 71 Build Up Interviews
Post by: Billy Walker on January 07, 2017, 07:07:11 PM: I've just seen this video link on Twitter and am not sure if it's been posted on H&V before. On so many levels it's one of the finest clips of anything to do with Villa that I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it before, give it a watch.

The ground looks great as well.

In those days I was at most matches, home and away. The view of the Witton End reminded me of being eight years old hanging on to railings with such a huge drop down the banking. Health and Safety didn't exist!
