First win was a few months later at VP, Gary Shaw I think.Was the Christmas one 3-0 to them? 3 is the most I've seen them put past us. Meanwhile Ive seen us put 6 past them, 5 a couple of times and a 4.Yup, the Boxing Day defeat was 3-0.I think Gary Shaw's winner a few months later was on Easter Monday. Imagine that fixture being played on a bank holiday now?!

I was dragged sofa shopping the next day. I sat on every settee we looked at, not out of interest but as a result of the crippling hangover I was lugging around.
As an indication of my devotion to her, I invited my then fiancee to her first derby match in the 81/82 season at St Andrews. As a date it wasn't wildly successful - we somehow got trapped on the wasteland behind the Tilton Rd end dodging stones being lobbed at the Villa fans queuing to get in. Later we ended up in one of the usual ambushes on the way back into town and had to leg it.On the bright side Peter Withe won us the game! Years later we inadvertently got caught up in a riot in Paris which she declared to be nothing compared to her day out in Small Heath which remains her go to maximum on the fear barometer.
I was a kid no money got in for last 30 mins, early 60s holts end 6 2 I think l remember Stan lynn scoring

Did Ron Saunders actually take his place on the bench that day or was he just watching from the stands? I know he had accepted the job but I can't recall if he had officially taken over in time to take charge of them that day.
