5 biggest games for me - sadly a long time ago1978 Villa 2 Barcelona 2 25 April 1981 Villa 3 Middlesboro 0 - last home game & singing "We're gonna win the league"26 Dec 1989 Villa 3 Man U 030 Dec 1989 Villa 2 Arsenal 1Oct 1990 Villa 3 Inter Milan 0Runners up April 82 Villa 1 Anderlecht 0Special mention to Jan 1984 live on BBC1. Villa 1 Liverpool 0 at half time, before we lost 1-3 Ian Rush hat trick. The burning of a Liverpool scarf at the back of the Holte, knees up Mother Brown and the brick through the bus windscreen on the way home to Warwick, our driver was a hero, he must have been frozen !I think this was the first live to game from Villa Park ?
Tranmere. 1994. by a country mile the best atmosphere I've ever experienced in a football ground.Inter Milan in the same year was the closest.
