Yes those were the days though when both Villa and West Brom had great teams and were chasing the title. The excitement for that one compared to the one tonight is like chalk and cheese.

The other game that springs to mind was the Sunderland game, I think they locked the doors an hour before kickoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Found the full Villa V City cup final on YouTube. Guess it's part of our history now where Smith got us to a final of a cup at least when we were so the underdogs of everything last season.

turnbull Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My dad took me to my first Villa game in September 1969 v Hull City, we won 3-2. I was 9 years old and attended Kingsland Road junior and infants in Kingstanding. We used to play football on Cooksey Lane playing fields just up the road. Back then Villa trained on there, so we were within ball kicking distance of our heroes. The teacher used to tell is off for paying more attention to the players than our game! Any other ex Kingsland kids on VT? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
