I was at the game, but have only once watched the whole game back live, as I fear that if I watch it again then Bayern will equalise.

42 years ago today

42 years previous, WWII was still being called The Phoney War

A couple of weeks back, it had happened over half of my Dad's lifetime ago...

I like a bit of mortality maths.  I mentioned to someone the other day that it is fifty years since ABBA won Eurovision; fifty years prior to that saw the Broadway musical that populised the Charleston.

Dennis Mortimer refused to swap shirts. As captain he knew he would receive the cup, and said he was determined to do it in a Villa shirt. Clever chap our captain.

Likewise.

3 generations of Villa going overseas to bring back the cup was special.

Managed to get 3 generations to Villa Park once this season but not likely to happen often, or at all overseas due to being too young and too old.

Forever grateful.

Watched the game at home. The neighbours came round to see if we were OK when Peter Withe scored because they thought someone had got seriously injured.

Unfortunately because of the amount I had to drink on my way over there I don't remember much. The 2 things I can still remember is the goal plus them being given offside with minutes to go.

Watched the game again last night, as I do every year if we're at home.

It still takes me a little by surprise that we were on top for the first twenty minutes, doing well to the half-hour mark, but then Bayern began to dominate until we scored.

There's an old football phrase: 'goals change games.' Never truer than in this game. Our goal knocked the stuffing out of Bayern.

“We conquered all of Europe in 1982”

Was notably in that kit reveal video last year,

https://youtu.be/yIIHgy9FeHg?si=TaLc0PxGCGsbj61-

rather than

“We even conquered Europe, in 1982”

The word ‘even’ sticks in my throat as much as I belt it out.
I was grateful for the attention of detail, that takes care not think small.

I was in hospital in 94 and just getting back into footy after a break in ‘96, so realising - play off final thankfully aside- this was my only winning /proper cup final.

Will be interesting to look back on 5 years time.

The word 'even' irritates me as well. Think 'also' would be better.

I remember him on top of Birmingham Town Hall saying “this is the foot” and lifting it up!

That would sound odd to me. The club (or whoever’s) all of Europe sounds better.

‘Even’ smacks of, “we’re not even in the competition these days”.
Well we are now.

Emery made reference to it being ambitious to aim to win it, but that it’s more realistic to win a competition if you are in it. 

Quote
Every week we follow
The boys in claret and blue
We conquered all of Europe In 1982
The Villa boys from Aston
We travel near and far
You can hear us singing
From the stands of Villa Park

Allez Allez Allez

Still remember been at the top of Colmore Row with my sister by the 51 bus stop, almost opposite the Council house for the European cup parade. God knows what silly hour we got there!
