I saw this as well Chico, posted by the ever reliable Villa Boy on You Tube. To my limited knowledge it is the only colour version of Villa Park pre Holte End roof and , although the clip is short, is remarkable in its clarity. A real piece of recorded Villa Park history.

Wonderful piece of footage.
Assuming a 3pm kick off, they appear to kick off about 5 minutes late.
You can see the WW2 bomb damage to the Witton Stand. Apparently £20k worth of damage that was not put right until 1954.
Standing at the back of The Holte did not seem popular.
We lost 2-1 in front of 35,429.
