I know the game you mean, i think. Villa played in that white kit and Phillips, Little and Leonard scored ?

There seemed to be some confusion after the match when Villa fans were leaving the ground. Sure, Villa had won and got the two points for winning as it was then. Had Villa overtaken Man Utd at the top of the division ? Had Villa won the League ? Thousands of expectant Villa fans rushed back into the ground to celebrate, only to find out that nothing had really happened.

On the coach back home out of Blackpool, the traffic was very slow. Less than a mile from the ground we passed Blackpool goalie John Burridge walking away from the match with his girlfriend/wife.

I also recall Villa fans having a game of footy on Blackpool beach before the match. It looked like about 2,000 a side.

One of my favourite ever away games.

I have a ginger beer bottle from the Aston Pleasure Grounds before Villa Park was built on it!

Met Sir Brian Last year and he autographed that picture for me and yes it was Bristol City.:-)

A copy of the Turkish DAILY football news I bought in Istanbul the morning after we beat Fenebache 2-0 in the UEFA Cup in 1977. The two first pages of the colour broadsheet are devoted to the match! This in the days when UK daily papers had four pages at the back for all sports!

My home made banners for Wembley '75 and '77.

Had this made up when I got the piece of mosaic from the Trinity,







Followed the instructions from the tech section but pasting the link hasn't produced a picture.

You needed to put [ img ] and [ /img ] around the link (without the spaces).

In the PWS pictures titled "First batch from other pack" who is the Villa player turning away from goal as Andy celebrates in front of the Holte? Looks like Bruce Rioch but surely  he had gone by the time Andy arrived.

For Fast56, you need to use the direct link.
