Let's not forget Tony Barton
ez:
I remember we had a run in the league cup in Tony Barton's last season, going out against Everton. Kevin Richardson handled on the line but the ref missed it and we went out. I tend to think Tony's fate was sealed that night.

Finished mid table and won the European Super Cup to boot.
Doug lost my total respect when he did that to Tony in '92/93
That was me and my Dads last season watching until Martin O'Neils last season (for me).

When it comes to the way he was treated you don't know half.
Lambert and Payne:
If there was any night I could witness as a Villa fan, its this. When people talk about it I could listen for hours. I always ask what was it like, and when its described I can't imagine the joy it sounds just totally out of this world!
Villan For Life:
The history books show that Tony Barton was manager of Aston Villa when we won the European Cup. That for me is enough to confer legendery status on him.
RIP Tony and thanks for the precious memories.
