Some of the saves he made in the title winning season when you look at the DVD of the campaign were magnificent. He wasn't massive for a keeper either. Just bloody good.
I was lucky enough to be at the final in Rotterdam, and thought the ITV4 programme was really nicely done.Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a good deal of photographic footage of Rotterdam generally out there. There are just one or two long range shots of the Villa end to be found on the web, and I search for me and my cap (to no avail) amongst the thousands - I recall roughly where I was stood.
Villa's win tends to get overlooked a lot. It was nice to see a documentary that gave equal attention to our victory as it did to Liverpool/Forest. Villa's win is worthy of a full-length doc in its own right.

Yep ditto that. Watched it on my phone this eve thanks to a H&V parishioner sharing Villa Boy on Facebook. I'm away at the moment but there is someone I can ask with a personal archive, I'm not sure if he was at the match.
Why were there so many empty seats? That's always what it looks like on the YouTube clips anyway.
Pretty sure that after the trouble in Anderlecht we had ticket restrictions, and the reputation of English fans, especially ours at the time, probably put off a lot of locals going.
