Paul Mortimer was a strange one.  What happened there?

Poor attitude, crap, sold quickly to Palace.

To link Sheffield Wednesday and Les Sealey, remember the home game at Villa Park that season when we lost 1-0 and the pitch was covered in green sand? I think this was because the pitch was knackered and it wasn’t helped by Sealey crawling though it commando style before the game.

I seem to recall a Sealey mistake at home to Sheffield Wednesday but I can't recall if back then I thought it should have been a goal or not.

Nigel Jemson weak header that he made a complete meal of that I think the that generation anti Villa referee George Courtney gave despite it being impossible for him to see.

I dunno, he arches his arse back quite a lot when saving it. We'd have been screaming for it up the other end.

As others have said, there opening day at Hillsborough was one of the best away days ever.   The build-up, the animosity, going 0-2 down in the game - none of it looked good and yet it ended up being bloody brilliant.   

Sadly, I don't remember much about the rest of the season, seemed a bit of a let down from what I remember.   Obviously next season was fantastic - close to being perfect.

The ridiculous thing was we finished 7th without looking overly spectacular. How on earth can you go 11 games scoring 1 goal and finish 7th!!

Of course this was the season before the Premier League and post Italia 90 which I’d argue was just about the best time for watching before the game became a lot of overblown hyped up nonsense.
