Nice one Legion - some great memories right there in those photos
Not so sure about the Well Done from WUMPTY though - look at the front of the double decker bus

Nice one Lee. Great to be able to read my old blog too, and even show my Son all the stuff I wrote when he was born!

Really enjoyed both programmes but especially the second one! Brought back so many happy memories, still got all my supporters club documentation and the pennant, programme and ticket. I went with a mate from Darlington who wasn't a Villa fan, he asked if I fancied company and had no problem getting him a ticket.

When we were in Hamburg we took 4 times as many as Ajax had done previously and the German police commented on what a load of throbbers Ajax had been compared to us.

What's that in English?

I'm not sure what you're struggling with to be honest. Hang on, let me get Google translate on.

You mean our supporters were better-behaved than Ajax's. Thank you.

I don't know. The Polis seemed to think as much.

Great pictures spoilt slightly by the sight of an interloper in the dugout in Bucharest.

Great couple of programmes. Didn't realise it was only Spinks second appearance. Probably the greatest performance of a Villa player. Programme leaves you thinking about what ifs though, regarding Ron Saunders.

Even if Saunders had stayed another year or two I'm sure eventually he would have had as much, if not more frustration with Doug as he did with the Bendalls and would probably have left in similar circumstances or been sacked.
