Classic match, great Daley goal.

Nice find DM. I take it that's taken from a Baggies video as the highlights are somewhat one-sided?

I like the opening titles that seem to have been done on a Spectrum.

Surprised at how many Villa fans seem to be in the Albion end for the first goal.

Also, surprised that I had forgotten Baggies used to have players called 'North' and 'West' in the same team. I thought the commentator was talking about the direction of play while holding a compass.

I remember having this on video and after the game they were saying how Daley could get into the England squad for Italia 90. He was the best winger in the country that year.

It took Daley another year to make the England squad if i remember - and guess who was boss at the time? Sir Graham gave him a chance. Would have been interesting to see how Daley would have got on in Italy if Robson had taken him - i would say our Tone was at his peak between 89-92 and as frustrating as he could be, there wasnt another winger in the country that was as exciting as Tony when he was on his game.

Well that didn't take long!

Of course the European ban had a lot to do with it but I doubt there will ever be that many top English players (or any in fact) playing in Scotland again

[Deano's Mullet]

I think there was a lot more even spread of players from different clubs - QPR, Wolves, Villa, Derby, Liverpool, Marseilles even..... Now theres only one or two from outside the big four.

That's cheered me up after today's game.

Nothing better than tesco-bags getting beat by the Villa

Was that shot on a Sony cam-corder?

The pitch looks awful, I don't remember it looking that bad at the time on the proper TV.

Sony camcorders probably weren't even around then!

And back then all the pitches looked similar (i.e. shite), it's just you didn't have today's perspective when you can compare them to the lush, criss-cross patterns we see nowadays.

They most  certainly were : In 1983 Sony released the first consumer camcorder—the Betamovie BMC-100P

I've got highlights of this match on an old vhs called Aston Villa vs Other Midlands clubs. This is most definitely different angled footage from the original Match of the Day highlights which had the usual "tele" view. Strange.
