Maybe. Didn't know we had soldiers in the East as late as that.

Used to bump into him regularly at Penns Hall and in Walmley village back in the day.

Always happy to have a quick chat.

They would have come over from West Berlin I would imagine. I spoke to someone recently (an Irish lad) who lived in W.Berlin in the 1980s and he said that he would quite regularly go for a drink in the East. Brendan Ormsby and Ivor Linton in defence - the rock that won us the cup

I didn't know you could just pop from the West to the East that easily. Obviously, the local population couldn't.

You could get in. You just couldn't get back.

I knew some blokes from the Cup in Sutton who went to that game - we went with them to Anderlecht.

They said there were maybe 400-500 Villa fans there and a good number of squaddies who jumped over from West Berlin. It was common to pop over as booze was incredibly cheap in East Berlin. Apparently outside the stadium a small mob of  Berlin fans were looking for trouble after the game and the squaddies  told my mates to leave it to them. Which they did.

So... if the East Germans wanted to defect they should really have just sewn themselves a convincing Britisher uniform and they'd have got away with it!

Anybody else see the thread title and panic slightly before seeing it was 'only' a knee op?
