You would think using modern techniques they would be able to clean up this film a lot. No doubt we have a few experts on what is possible?

My assumption would be that you could, but you would need the original tape to do so.  The time and expense involved would not be worth it unless it was of historical importance, which it isn't (we are only interested because it is Villa).

Fantastic. Goalies still in outfielders shirts, semi-circles instead of a six yard box, belts to hold up the shorts, a young Charlie Aitken at left back...........

I thought it was a surprisingly clear picture.

Anyone else fancy some stout?

And you can tell the bitterness in Chiles' voice as he reads the score.

That was the era of the Perry Barr Pet and its successor, the title of which escape me now.

That ground didn't look much different when I went there for the FA Cup in 1990.

Unless I am mistaken in the Preston game thats England international Billy George in goal for us. He had a massive chest.
