didn't Bill Shankly congratulate the Villa for winning, by saying that we won more games than anyone else so deserved it ?


I'm sure I read or heard that somewhere....great memories..I might have to dig out the Champions DVD when I get home..

Ron Saunders did an interview and said Shankly had told him Villa's points and win totals exceeded what he would consider the target for teams aiming to be champions.
