This was played on Match of the Day on the day we won the League. They showed our season's highlights over it. Sometimes it pays to be an old codger. PS: I was a little bit in love with Kiki Dee! Embarassed

I seem to remember that one looked like an 'A' and the other looked like a "V' so I'll say false because that's only AV not AVFC.

Blimey, I'm struggling to remember new stuff these days, but some of the nostalgia is lodged in the old brain box, and it's probably all that stuff that's stopping the new stuff downloading! Very Happy

If you watch that villa v boro clip that I put up - it makes me sad - not only villas fall from grace - but the sanitised crap that is now served up as football......different era, different world now....

I've just watched it, I even remembered the referee. It seems that the only things that have improved at Villa in the last 34 years are the lighting and the pitch. Nice one Smetro. Quick Quiz 3769219917

It was always the highlight of any journey up the M6, to see the AV floodlights.

Oh how we heed to do something like that again, create a unique landmark feature

Did you google that ?

Im going to give you a 'correct' even though heres what happened

He signed for Villa - but his contract was cancelled shortly afterwards, as Iceland wanted first call on him for international duty- then villa manager Graham Turner found this unacceptable.
Days later he joined QPR - but I think only ever played 45 mins for them - and I found him listed in one of there worst ever signings lists !

Got to admit I'd never heard of him. Slightly before my time which won't have helped. I'll ask my dad later, see if it jogs his memory  :)
