They were great. It's a shame VP hasn't been that intimidating since, but it would come close with a two legged semi final against them.
Yes, the bricks that were flying over my head on Witton Lane were great. The Villa fans who attacked their own were great. The police being assaulted was great. The man Damon's dad wrote about dying in the street while the sound of fighting and police sirens filled the air was great. Our manager being so ashamed of what happened that night he thought about resigning on the spot was great. The image shown around the world of our club being dragged into the gutter was great. Leaving the ground early because for the first and only time ever I just wanted to be away from there was great.
Is that really what you want football to be about?
Remember reading that article, seem to remember it being printed without a name attached to it aswell.
Possibly the most moving piece iv ever read in a H & V....
Dont get me wrong, i hate them more than anyone / anything.. But the fact is we all in some way lost control that night, Never
want to see scenes like that ever again in my ground... Never thought i'd ever have as bad a night following the Villa than
when we had to stand there while being 3-0 down at the sty...... But that night topped it off!!!
Up The Villa!
