I remember watching Sampdoria beat Inter in the San Siro en route to winning the league in the early 90s, in a 1st v 2nd contest. They had Vialli and Mancini up front and Pagliuca in goal (must have been before he joined Inter). Pagliuca that day turned in possibly the best goalkeeping performance I've ever seen.

Nice one Archie.

But I began to support Villa in 1981, the season when we won the League Championship.

I love the "we" in there.

On the pitch we can have the most crap team in the world, but outside we are world class!

Wise words Archie. Well done to you sir!
