I've posted my memories about this greatest of matches on here a few times so won't bore you all again but, when we scored it was a culmination of all my years following the Villa from when my old man first started taking me. My only thoughts immediately after scoring were for him as I pointed my souvenier flag at the sky and yelled, "Daaaaaaaaad! He'd died in 1978.
Another lasting memory was seeing all the people that stood near where we did down the Witton End as we were exiting the stadium and them recognising us and also the smiles on their faces. Also a lad who was a player in one of the leagues that I officiated in and him beaming at me and shouting "How're ya ref?" Lovely.
Happy Rotterdam Day all.
