The whole guard of honour thing is a load of nu football type shite.

It's actually an old custom that died out and has been revived lately.

I used to have a poster on my bedroom wall of Coventry doing it for Villa with Dennis Mortimer leading us out but I can't remember which success they were acknowledging?

It must have been the League Cup in 1977. We won it on 13th April and our next game was at Coventry on the 16th. We won, 3-2 (Cowans, Deehan, Little).

I'd have thought that Nicholl, rather than Mortimer, led us out though, as he was captain at the time.

We didn't play Coventry immediately after any of our league or cup wins when Mortimer was captain.

Ŵas there as a 12 year old in the Coventry end with my old man. Seem to recall a very hot day

Yep.  That 20 year old Colombian CB looks a player though.

Can't argue with that.  Deserved to win.

I caught the build-up on the radio. The Ajax fans belting out Three Little Birds is really something.

The general disdain for the two trophies they have won is particularly nauseating. They only seem to care that they have qualified for a wealthier tournament.
