Restores a bit of faith in the 'Management' that they do sometimes get us. Get Foxy to send this to few billionaires as a sales pitch.

And add....I think the Villa are the best ever thing you could possibly,utterly Dench. With added Hoffman.
Absolutely.

It is very well done. That Gary Shaw goal is one that was already etched  in my memory, but it was great to see it again.

My Dad used to marvel at Charlie Aitkin's energy and speed at left back, and seeing him in that clip made me a little emotional. When he took me to VP in December 66, I was on holiday from boarding school and had only watched Allens Cross (now Northfield Town)  live, and I had sent away for a Blues photo and Rosette with saved up PG Tips cards. "Ah no" he said in his quiet but determined Country Leitrim way, "we'll go to Villa Park".

They should show that to the players 5 minutes before they go out on Monday.

They are so so lucky to play for such a great club.

How could we have been formed in 1874 when football wasn't invented until 1992?

I wasn't going to watch it, but so glad I did.  What a powerful piece of film.  Things are dark at the moment, but don't give up hope that Aston Villa will become great again

The exact date doesn't matter. We were formed in 1874 (probably), so let's just enjoy it.

Correctamundo PWS. Cracking video , though disappointingly Bradley sounds somewhat northern. Do we have any famous Villa fans who are Brummies other than Benjamin Zephaniah? Kennedy, Merv and Prince Billie  are all from out of town, and Tom Hanks is a bit fair weather for me.

He is, definitely. There's also Carl Chinn, Barney from Napalm Death, him out of UB40 and Ian Lavender.

That's really very good, I absolutely loved it, very emotional too.
Well done to whoever filmed and scripted that.

Marvellous.

David Cameron could have done it to give it more passion and sincerity    ;D

Good point.
We played and won a few in non Sky leagues and cups before 1992 but no one knows that because it was not as if those matches were "decided right here on Sky" so who cares. We should really be grateful to   pioneers of game Scuddamore, Keys, Abaromovic, Mansoors, Glaziers the true gods.
