What a day and what a come-back.

Early kick-off (2:30?) because of the coal strike. I think Saltley Gates was the same week.

I was at that game. Bournemouth had some very high quality strikers for a small third division club. Ted MacDougall, who scored their goal, and also Phil Boyer. Both were sold eventually and went on to play in the top division.

My first visit to Villa Park, I was 11, the noise was deafening. What a game for my first time

Wow Towser, what a game to start with. Must have been overwhelming with that atmosphere.
My first was Villa v Oldham in 1975, again an amazing atmosphere although not on the level of the Bournemouth game.
