Pretty sure I haven't noticed this on here, but When Lions Roared - a documentary made by the club about 1982.

It was released a year or two back . It's brilliant , but even better is the BT Documentary released about the same time narrated/hosted by Mark Williams.

This is wonderful, just sat and watched the whole thing.  These players are quite rightly revered and dyed in to the history of this fantastic football club.  Hoping for more success now under this management group and owners.

Havent had time to watch it all yet, just here and there, seems very well made, the players talk about with dignity, proudness and making jokes and everything, like story of their life and the club. Got to laugh, being impressed , cry if you like.

Allan Evans still looks like he could play now.  He looks in good shape and has aged fantastically.  Great to see Sid on camera too.  My very favourite all-time Villa player.  Love him.

Yep, Super Villans on BT and When Lions Roared were out about a week apart back in May 2022.
