Proud History.

Thousands of Villa fans on the Clock End waiting to celebrate that day.



Outside the ground, i remember Gordon Cowans leaning out of the Away dressing room window with a bottle of champagne.

The memory of that day makes me so proud !

You mean move on and never mention it again? No thanks.
One of the best days of my life. It'll never be forgotten.

Fantastic, lets just hope we aren't (almost) halfway through another 71 year wait.

UTV!

Brilliant day.  Just remember the sea of coaches going down the M1 that day.  Think there were over 100 from the Travellers alone, I think I was on 73 or something.   Believe that the Rugby League Challenge Cup took place at Wembley the same day and there were thousands of League fans everywhere as well, no M40 and yet we all got there on time.  Amazing !!!!

Mind, bags of trouble afterwards, I seem to remember the Police lashing out at anyone and everyone by where the coaches were parked.

I was there on the Saturday and Sunday. An absolutely fantastic weekend which I'll never ever forget.

It is a beautiful sight seeing them pictures again one of the best day's of my life in football terms, i just wish we could see that again sooner rather than later we live in hope.

Remember it well even though I was a 16 year old then. Those were the days.

How many of you can find yourselves in the photo? I've spotted myself:
