That's a great summary of the greatest period in the club's recent history. I first watched Villa play at VP in 1967 - a game that relegated us to the 2nd tier - and feel immensely privileged to have followed the team home and away during the reincarnation period through the 1970's. Much of what you've written, Dave, captures those halcyon days.
The 1976-77 is still my favourite team, although - obviously - the team of 1980-83 is the most successful.
