I've seen it a million times before, but I still love watching it. Hard to describe the emotions I feel watching my Dad scoring for the club I love, into a packed Holte End and the fans going wild. You can tell how much he loved scoring. He was 20 years old, a few weeks short of his 21st and not too long before he met my Mum in Flints in Mere Green. Love the huge collar in the interview at the end too! That game happened 3 days after I was born. Brilliant. Thanks for posting, DB.

That really was a fantastically entertaining and talented team.I'm reminded that Graydon's dreadful penalty was even worse than the one he'd got away with at Wembley the previous year.
Best Thread for a long long time.
Quote from: Jimbo on March 12, 2015, 08:35:54 AMHa ha, don't worry, JG, I'll get over it one of these days. There were a lot of Villa-mad kids down our road, as you'd imagine, so I think they handed out their fair share of autographs while they were there. I definitely caught him at the wrong time. But the whole thing demonstrates just how far removed today's footballers are from ordinary fans. Is it true your old man is from the Drumchapel estate in Glasgow?Yes, he's a Drumchapel lad. My Granny still lived there until she sadly passed away last year & my Uncle lives 5 minutes away. Wasn't the nicest of places to grow up when my Dad was a kid, that's for sure.

Regarding Frank Carrodus, I'm sure I remember him running the outer circle route for a charity event during his time with us - something I don't think you'd see a top flight player do nowadays.

It's turned into a Villa Memories thread.I love some of those advertising boards - "Effluent Disposal Limited" - (now dormant according to Companies House).
I was a bit sad when I noticed the Davenports ad. I wonder if the Ansells Bittermen ad was still on the Witton Lane stand at that time.
