Remember this one so well. My Dad used to listen to away games on, I think meridian radio? The problem was, the only place he could get a signal was in our car when it was parked on the drive. Nowhere else in the house was it possible to pick it up. So out he went for the villa game. Me making the occasional glance out the living room window, seeing him going through the emotional ringer in the driving seat! As the game started hotting up I decided to leave my nice warm viewpoint ( living room TV with the BBC vidiprinter!) and Join him in the car for the last 20 minutes. The ahhs and oohs from inside of the car must've been audible from the street.....And the neighbours must've wondered what the f**k was going on in the car at No. 4 when Mills smashed that winner in!
The video above sums up how much I loved that team.
I remember going by car with @Tarzan's Beard (who never posts on here but is still a season ticket holder) which was unusual. We ’stopped off’ at Villa on our way up to Bolton to visit his future wife and her friends which was also very enjoyable
Mendonca still oooozes class when I watch these videos back. I love hearing ’Super Clive’ and VFR being sung at a speed to feel proud of, and it’s soooo nice to know that I was one of those voices going hoarse for the cause.
