I counted eight Villa connections in that Portland team picture.
Tony Betts, Brian Godfrey, Willie Anderson, Leo Crowther, Peter Withe, Mick Hoban, Barry Lynch, Vic Crowe.
Other midland players in that picture too. Chris Dangerfield was from Sutton and was a couple of years above me at school, was on Wolves books for a while.
Also Ray Martin, who was a full back at Blues.
