I don't think I've seen that before. I did check and there were no more goals in the second half so we haven't missed any.

We had proper segregation when the North Stand opened. Until then the old Witton was pretty much mixed.

I watched this last night, it was the Saturday game after the Pub bombings
I was at the game and dug out the programme.
I guess all of the empty seats in the lower trinity were due to safety concerns after the Thursday night atrocity.
Attendance was 16,800 our average that year was 27,800 with 57,000 for that magic last home game against Sunderland.
I watched a few more highlights on the Villa Boy channel on YouTube, shit we played some awesome attacking football at times in the mid  to late 70,s the pitches were unbelievably bad and it seemed far fewer bookings,

Lovely deft chipped cross from Graydon for Brian's headed second.

Even on the TV coverage you can sense the feeling of numbness amongst the crowd that day, though the commentary appears almost nonchalant in the face of such terrible tragedy.

Some good reminiscing. Still my favourite player, I even went to watch Cheltenham v Darlington as he was then their manager......a class act.
