Then in 76 after a few close games with them in Div 3 we made the journey to Villa Park in front of 40K to see Whittle score and us take a 1-0 lead early on. Unfortunateley they then scored 5. Even in the third division Villa maintained a great following home and away.

Taken along by my Dad, we normally went on the Kop but ended up in the paddock for this one. He took me home with around 10 minutes to go due to the trouble and the stick my Mam would give him if anything happened to us.
In the 70s/80s there was always a chance of some idiot trying to knock your head off, even on the Kop.
