Back in the days we won the domestic league and then went on to… well, you know what!

37 years ago. Good grief. Makes you feel old, doesn’t it?

Makes you feel old doesn't it HH?! Precious times. So many of them total gents off the pitch as well, plus still Villa through and through. — Vital Villa (@VitalVilla) May 2, 2018

Not often I say it but I wish I were a few years older, I was too young to even know about this. Not sure I’ll ever get to see this. — Mark Ashmore (@mg_ashmore) May 2, 2018

Aston Villa used just fourteen players all season. And each one a giant. There was none of this talk of needing to be rested back then!

Step forward:

Jimmy Rimmer

Eamonn Deacy

Allan Evans

Colin Gibson

(King) Ken McNaught

Kenny Swain

Gary Williams

Des Bremner

Gordon ‘Sid’ Cowans

(Sir) Dennis Mortimer (4 goals)

David Geddis (4 goals)

Tony Morley (12 goals)

Gary Shaw (20 goals)

Peter Withe (21 goals)

Aston Villa played 42 games, won 26, drew 8 and lost 8. +32 goal difference. 60 points.

Second place, Ipswich Town on 56 points and 3rd Arsenal on 53 points.

I remember it well, I had the first of my many major operations and missed pretty much all of the season!!!
