Tell you what, that second leg was one of the best matches I ever attended in the old Trinity Road stand, the racket up there was brilliant.

Well, I know it was a while back in the days before then online version of Heroes and Villains. I wonder what sort of comments would of been spouted on these types of messages boards back then after a 3-1 reverse against lower league opponents?
It's all Doug's fault.
It quite simply was the best game I have ever attended for the mixture of emotions across the two legs. Villa had not won a trophy in my supporting lifetime and so Wembley still had the mythical air to it. Went from expecting to piss it at the draw stage, to despair and anger at 3-1 down, to hope on arriving on the holte end (with crate to stand on), to expectation at 2-0 up, to despair at aldridge's pen and then when you think it's gone, Dalian puts the header in and then there was pens. First time i'd ever sung kay sera sera...Just epic. Utd at wembley was easy in comparison as there simply wasn't the amount of drama and we never expected to win. Unlikely to be bettered I think.
