Saw it last night. Absolutely brilliant - a must watch for Villa fans. So lucky to have been a Villa fan back then. Put this shower of shite to shame. How in God's name didn't Mortimer earn an England call up?

Both programmes were absolutely brilliant, with our segment being the best.
I even had a very slight pang of sympathy for bealzebub at one stage, but I soon shook that off.

Loads of clips from 81/82 that i'd never seen before, well worth a watch.  First episode was pretty good too.

Even my Lichfield Villains flag got an airing when they were showing the Kiev away game in Simferopol.

Can any of you guys post a link to this/where it can be downloaded? I'm a technological dinosaur. Cheers!

May not work as you're outside the UK though. For anyone watching on a laptop you'll need to turn off any ad blockers you run.

Yes I noticed that. Must've been quite an experience going behind the Iron curtain in those days.

Amused me when they showed how bad the hotel was. Imagine present day footballers staying in accomodation like that, they'd all be on the next plan out of the country.

Ah, you're right. It'll be my Sunday mission to watch this somehow. Hopefully it'll appear on YouTube or something.

Although i've never used one i'm sure a VPN or some such will help. Or there will be an add-on for Chrome etc that will get round it.

Can you not get a VPN, mate? I recommend Express VPN. Expensive, but very, very good: https://www.expressvpn.com/

Got to be honest, mate. I couldn’t afford to go, so my mate took it. They stopped in the same hotel as the players, I think. I’ve got a pic of Sid, Gary Williams, Tony Morley and Pat Heard, I think it was, holding the flag up in one of the players rooms.
