Happy anniversary to the greatest club in the World

What a fantastic day. I remember some of it like it was yesterday,weather was blazing hot then as well. From seeing Brian Little at the airport until the final whistle it was a day I'll never ever forget.

Will never see the like again same as england winning the world cup.Thanks for the memories .These were the days we could hold our head up high .Still think the villa were bigger when in the third division.No club will ever come from the third division and win the eureopean cup within 10 years .Thats when we had playersthat wanted to play for us because of our history etc
Thank you Tony Barton And Ron Saunders

Yes, but who cares?

Fair enough. Happy Aniversary and Merry Christmas.

I remember watching the game at home - I was going into hospital the following day for an operation so I couldn't go.

When Peter Withe scored I jumped up so high I hit my head on the pendant light - nearly anaesthetised myself.

What a night!

I started work on 7 May 1982 and I remember that I had no money to travel to Holland or holidays from work. Watched it on TV but I can't remember where. I sort of didn't appreciate the enormity of the win. I thought that we were going to win the League and Champions cup every other year if not every year. Little did I know that whilst I  have been with the same employer all these 30 years almost my entire working lifetime I will not see the same level of glory. I doubt if many of us realised what we had achieved that night in Rotterdam!

It was. simply, the best night of my life and I don't think anything else in the future will ever surpass it.

I was nine when we won it so I don't really remember much of it at the time.  I love watching that goal though gives me goosebumps every time I see along with Sir Dennis lifting the cup.  It makes me sad as well because I know I'll never see Villa do it again.

I was 11. Watched it with my Dad in the living room with occasional forays into the dining room to listen to the radio commentary. Tony Butler and his prayer mat if I remember correctly. My Dad tells me that I went outside after full-time to recreate the winning goal over and over again. That bit I do not recall.

Better a day early than set fire to it.
