Was great when they had the coach outside Villa Park a couple of years back.

Great find.

I think we need to merge this thread with the "Crying when watching a film" thread.

I'm no expert, but looking at the size of the crowds in Brum, I would say there were many more than 100,000 that the Pathe newsreel mentioned.

"Those who remember the last time the Villa won the cup never thought it would be 37 years until the famous claret and blues brought it back again"

How unbelievably sad are those words, 53 years later?

Colour match footage. For some reason labelled as 1958 footage.


That is wonderful footage.

I've never seen the colour footage before. Great!

The most telling thing? That on the homecoming film, the commentator finds it faintly incredulous that it has been 37 years since Aston Villa last won the Cup...
