I walked to primary school in Leamington the following day, sporting the away shirt, scarf, flag and bronx hat (!) along with school trousers and shoes. Cars were beeping, people waving and the headteacher let me off the uniform issues.

It was pretty much 35 years ago about now that the goal went in. And 'Yes' I am watching the DVD.

Such a perfect day....

Just a perfect day
Watch the ball cannon off Withe's shin
The split second when it goes in
We go mad

Just a perfect day
Final whistle when the 90's up
Watch Mortimer lift the cup
It's such fun

Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I watched it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me cheering on
You just keep me cheering on

Was coaching a new team of U16' last night for the first time. I explained I was a Villa fan and asked if there were any in the team (We are in Dorset so it's usually a no) I just couldnt resist going on to say that 35 years ago to the day I was in Rotterdam to watch Villa lift the European Cup. They looked generally shocked that Villa had won the European Cup! It was a lovely sunny evening last night to play football, very similar to that night in Rotterdam.

Fine work Dorset, and exigo too. Lou had class, must have been a Villa fan on the side.

You'll always have Ashley Young at Goodison. The one that romantically nourished Randy.

  okay the crosser.  Des was a fine player for the player but definitely did not set  up the goal,  no matter what stories he may tell ha ha.

I met Des Bremner at the Eamonn Deacy memorial reception a couple of years back.  He is one of the nicest, seemingly genuine and humble men it has ever been my privilege to meet.

They say never meet your heroes but I'm glad I met those boys that night.

Definitely very underrated as were a number of Saunders signings.
