Aston Villa: On This Day

[Godfrey Brian]

Nothing happened today, ever.

;)The game that deserves headspace on this day is Dynamo Kiev 0 Villa 0 in 1982. Despite major injuries in defence and being messed about big time by the authorities (including being told where we were actually playing very late!) Villa put on a gritty, resilient performance away in this European Cup quarter final first leg. Tony Morley plays his one hundredth game Sir Dennis talks of reaching the final and a thousand prayer-mats are placed before BRMB radio receivers.
