Yesterday was an absolutely fantastic (not to mention emotional) day for every
Villa fan inside a packed Villa Park. Before the game, the entire European Cup winning squad of '82 was paraded on the pitch to celebrate Villa winning Europe's top club competition 25 years ago. They got a thunderous and well deserved reception.
I was only a year old when Villa won the European Cup, so I don't have any memories of it. My Dad certainly does, however, and you could see what it meant to him and a lot of the older supporters - especially when the '82 squad saluted the Holte End. The current squad then outclassed Sheffield United
3-0 to cap off a great day.
