When we beat Man Utd second leg league cup final 1971 and again when we played Spurs off the park and still lost the final. God I was proud of the club that day.

In Rotterdam. I think the amount of alcohol I had consumed meant the stiff upper lip was not so britishly  ( is that a word allowed on countdown) stiff at the end of the game.

I was close after Tranmere at home.  It was an energy sapping afternoon.

Not strictly Villa, but when my mum wouldn't let me go see pele, and she definitely wasn't going to take me.I was still at primary but couldn't understand why she wouldn't let me go,

Watching the "Proud History : Bright Future" CD they sent out to Season Ticket holders - I now just have a cold hate in my heart...

26 May 1982.  And again on the train home the following day - just sitting there, as knackered as I'd ever felt in my life, thinking of all the European Cup finals I'd watched on tele as a kid and trying to comprehend that I'd just watched my team win it.

The replay final against Everton when we equalised and then went behind very quickly afterwards in the 3-2 League Cup Final win.  I was only about 10 at the time. We are going down now but they only deserve anger, not my tears.

Imagine if someone cried every time we lost this season? They'd be dead of dehydration by now.
