Happy 35th everyone.
Legion must be up late today, he normally starts this thread every year...
-
Aaaah, memories.
-
Happy Days
-
We'll be back. We will win it again.
-
Just watched extended highlights as I do every year. You simply cannot watch it too many times.
-
At some stage today I shall go down to my treasure box, take out my match ticket, smile and remember my old man who never lived to see it. He gave me the love of the Villa and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Happy Rotterdam Day all you forty plussers.

A day never to be forgotten. Too young to travel for this so watched it segregated bythe adults who were more nervous than we were, my Dad and his pals they watched at home while me and the other kids/teenagers watched it around a friends house.
I can still remember running home after we'd won to watch them lift the trophy to find men hugging each orher, i recall that unnerved me a bit.

We're so it again don't know when don't know where

Eh?

Can't think I ever had a better day as a Villa fan. I remember Rotterdam that day was warm and cloudless much like the UK today. It's depressing to think future generations of Villa fans are unlikely to see it repeated the way European football has evolved.

As a tribute I'm waiting for the 82 bus to Bearwood.
-
Just watched the Villa dvd when the goal went in put a big smile on my face but it happens every time i see that goal :-)

What's she like?

The greatest ever day being a villa fan only got back to Brum from Rotterdam a few hours before sir Dennis held the cup to the thousands in the square
-
We have Rotterdam Day, the tramps across the city have Stern John Day. If anything sums things up, it's that.
-
I walked to primary school in Leamington the following day, sporting the away shirt, scarf, flag and bronx hat (!) along with school trousers and shoes. Cars were beeping, people waving and the headteacher let me off the uniform issues.
-
It was pretty much 35 years ago about now that the goal went in. And 'Yes' I am watching the DVD.
-
Such a perfect day....
-
Such a perfect day....
Just a perfect day
Watch the ball cannon off Withe's shin
The split second when it goes in
We go mad
Just a perfect day
Final whistle when the 90's up
Watch Mortimer lift the cup
It's such fun
Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I watched it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me cheering on
You just keep me cheering on
-
We will be back.

Was coaching a new team of U16' last night for the first time. I explained I was a Villa fan and asked if there were any in the team (We are in Dorset so it's usually a no) I just couldnt resist going on to say that 35 years ago to the day I was in Rotterdam to watch Villa lift the European Cup. They looked generally shocked that Villa had won the European Cup! It was a lovely sunny evening last night to play football, very similar to that night in Rotterdam.
-
Fine work Dorset, and exigo too. Lou had class, must have been a Villa fan on the side.
-
YouTube have blocked my Withe video. The bastards.
-
You'll always have Ashley Young at Goodison. The one that romantically nourished Randy.
-
That one is also unavailable now.

The Scorer, the crosser and one of the subs on the night.

okay the crosser. Des was a fine player for the player but definitely did not set up the goal, no matter what stories he may tell ha ha.
-
I met Des Bremner at the Eamonn Deacy memorial reception a couple of years back. He is one of the nicest, seemingly genuine and humble men it has ever been my privilege to meet.
They say never meet your heroes but I'm glad I met those boys that night.
-
Definitely very underrated as were a number of Saunders signings.
-
Just sat next to Mr Bremner on the flight back from our respective holidays, what a really nice, genuine guy.
-
I just wished this came later in life. I was completely bloto for nearly 3 days and just thought would have the same again next season
-
Witton warrior
I thought we would do it again the following season to but coming up against the Italian national team (virtually) in the quarter final didn't help.
Just so glad I was there
-
Something gooners, spuds , Everton fans, Man City jolly come latelys will never be able to say
-
Champions of Europe
They will never sing that

Augmented by Platini and Boniek, and not too long before they became world champs. Not an easy hurdle.

Wasn't it after the '82 world cup when they won?
I still think after the shock of conceding such a quick goal we played pretty well that night.

Agreed, and a cracking header by Sid to equalise. But over the 2 games they were far superior to us.

Beat Germans in the park
And sail home.

I remember Gary Shaw being quoted as handing Gentile his shirt saying "You've been in this all night, you may as well have it"

Gentile, the cleverest, dirtiest most cynical defender to ever grace a field.
I remember him absolutely clattering Morley in the home game. It worked, as he never went near him again.

still got the evening mail special edition from that game in my villa memories box in the loft with a picture on the front of the juventus squad on the front

Despite losing. That match was pretty awesome. Remember walking up to VP and you could feel it. The kick off roar was electric and then they scored inside the minute. Sid's header was probably the loudest goal I've heard in the holte for me, only Dalian's since was louder. The following season match against Barcelona was pretty good when Sir Shaw nipped in to square the tie. Happy days.
