Just don't seem like it was over 32 years ago the most magical times of my life just hope they can come back so another generation can go through the euphoria of that amazing 80/81 season and the European cup journey with the most magical ending.

When this was being filmed I was on the pitch nicking some turf!

When this was being filmed I was being punched in the head by a copper whilst trying to nick some turf.
Never been the same since!
Still going to VP!

F**k my old boots - I loved that day, even with a lump on me head!

Great clip, raw emotion from the villa squad.
Thanks for sharing that.

Champions!

I was born in October 81, and only once have I seen us come close to emulating that title win, we are currently light years away from it, that makes me sad.

After the game, I was in the street outside the main stand waiting for my brother who was in the home end. when a window opened and a couple of Villa players (one of them Allan Evans) leaned out holding a bottle of champers. There were hardly any Villa fans in the vicinity and we exchanged suitable greetings despite a mob of Arse who were milling about. Another wonderful moment from a day I'll never forget.
