Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

[Witton Warrior]

I recall vividly the game against Sunderland in 1975 after we had already gained promotion at Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.
They had a huge following with 57,000 crammed into a vibrant Villa Park on a warm spring day.
They needed to win to get promoted and gave us a guard of honour as the teams came onto the pitch.
We despatched them 2-0, the imperious and very young Sir Brian on the score sheet.
Same again tomorrow please Villa.

My first match -  never be forgotten
