[Dr Butler]

great shots of the game

[Legion]

Great find.

Excellent. What odds that we'll ever again see 3 West Mids sides in the cup semis together? Sad sad sad.

This is the footage that was on the official history video released in the late 80s which I watched numerous times.  It always amused me how in a 2-2 draw you only really see one of the goals well. "No - one's more surprised than they are when a Villa counter attack leads to an equaliser" No - one apart from the cameraman it would seem!

I want us to get to the Cup Semis (at least) every year. If our neighbours never get beyond the first round they compete in ever again that would not make me sad!
