Aston Villa 5 Liverpool 1. The best 90 minutes of football I've ever seen.
Proof that even the Daily can occasionally print an article worth reading. Ron's reign at the Villa more-or-less coincided with my high school years and, perhaps because of that, I always thought of him as a son-of-bitch, hard-as-nails headmaster figure. But if ever there was right-man, right-place, right-time it was Saunders at the Villa for those six seasons.Having said that, his departure and subsequent appearance at St Andrew's was the greatest betrayal, but luckily for his reputation among Villa fans in the subsequent decades, winning the European Cup more than sugar-coated the pill.

You wouldn't mess.
