To me the Sheffield Kop is just a bigger version of the old Witton End. I got told that the back was cut when they eventually put a roof on it.`
Some great old pics there thanks.There were 120 facts about Villa Park in yesterday's programme celebrating its 120th anniversary that jogged the memory a bit - although wrong in stating that the Tranmere semi was the first penalty shoot out there. It was Colchester as far as I recall, for the first team anyway.
Couple of photos I haven't seen before:1966:https://fineartamerica.com/featured/aston-villa-villa-park-bw-1960s-legendary-football-grounds.html1969:https://fineartamerica.com/featured/aston-villa-villa-park-holte-end-1-august-1969-legendary-football-grounds.htmlThe 66 photo was obviously to do with the improvements to the ground for the world cup.the 69 photo caption is wrong it is the Witton End which is featured.
