    MOTD was more homesy back then instead of the chintzy glitz and glamour and fake bonhomie of modern MOTD

    'Just under 20,000' at VP! The Holte end alone used to hold around 25,000 at this time and it looks pretty full to me - without factoring in the stands attendance and the 1,000 up from Shepherds Bush. Why no shirt sponsor for Villa? FFS, they'd been crowned 'Champions of Europe' a little over 18 months previous. Or was this simply a manufacturer issue?

    Half the Villa team seemed to be scousers, McMahon, Mortimer, Withe...and even the native Brummie winger's middle name is 'Everton' :)

    The top teams of the old 2nd Division though

    Back in the day when I actually did care about football. Couldn't give two shiny shit/es now.

    That signature tune version was awful & was binned after a deluge of complaints. If it ain't broke..
