That's a great read - some lovely, almost poetic touches and some wonderful memories.

Great memories that I was lucky to experience but I am also old enough to remember the bad times of the late 60s when many of us thought that the Villa were finished. How wrong we were! Good times will come again to Vila Park, despite the current malaise and the signing of John Terry. We do wake up from bad dreams.
