not sure what the biggest crowd I have stood in at Villa Park is but a Christmas visit to see both sides of my family and my first ever live game with my Dad, his brothers, cousins and Grandad in 1968 Boxing Day vs Cardiff....over 40,000 there and I was 5 years old and in awe of Villa Park, the people, and the city(and if my memory serves me right it snowed)....never looked back UTVThe Doc

I always believed that Brian Tiler's headed goal was from about 40 yards but maybe it's my old age playing memory tricks.

Stands out like yesterday for the size of the crowd, expectation, result, and struggling to get out in the crush at the end.Good win for us.Some stats I found at 11v11.com (tried to post the link but apparently that is "not allowed")Maybe someone will know if that was the last largest crowd at VP, or if not where it stands in a table of attendances?UTVMy largest attendance at Villa Park was 62,500 league cup semi-final 2nd leg against Man U in 1970 - one of my greatest Villa Park nights ever watching Third Division Aston Villa beat the 1968 European Champions and not only beat them but outplay them in both legs. As Mary Hopkin once sang "Those were the days my friend , We thought they'd never end ,We'd sing and dance forever and a day!

They were both the scorers that day.I will be disappointed as i've lived the last 48 years believing it to be Hole!!!!
