If only Burns had tried to break Little's leg as well, maybe he wouldn't have scored.

I swear after our equaliser one of the Blues fans claps. If so, very sporting, although maybe they were just trying to encourage their lot.

I think the segregation wasn't as strong then.  In the game we won 2-1 when Evans scored that amazing winner at their place I noticed quite a few Villa celebrating in their Railway End.

If you look at the game in October 1978 - the same happened there, loads of Villa supporters celebrating in the Railway End when Andy Gray scores. 

Indeed my first ever introduction to this fixture was in September 1968 and I stood in the Railway End amongst scattered Rags' fans.  ( I won't mention the score !)

Hated him with a passion.  Francis you had to grudgingly admire but burns nothing more than a thug
