Great to see this, Chico: several of my boyhood heroes are there, not to mention the famous curved balcony of the Trinity Road stand. It was, I think, the biggest Villa Park crowd I ever experienced, several thousand more than the Man U League Cup SF. My father, my brother and I arrived at 1 o'clock to get decent places at the Holte End. With about an hour to go before kick-off you just couldn't move, and during the game if, like us, you were behind a barrier, you were crushed by the surge of the crowd behind you when Villa scored.
