Aston Villa v Newcastle United - It doesn't get any better than that! nufc
Aston Villa v Newcastle United – It doesn’t get any better than that!I am a 71 year old “dyed in the wool” Aston Villa fan. I was there on 26-05-1982 at the Feyenoord Stadium Rotterdam when Peter Withe scored the goal that saw us beat Bayern Munich 1-0 and win the European Cup. My finest hour as a Villa fan and always will be.
Having followed the Villa through the 2nd and 3rd division in the previous years, this was an unbelievable feat for the Villa.once in my life, an FA Cup win over Reading, I think that it was 3 or 4-1 to Newcastle. I was proud to watch the match from the Gallowgate End, hear the playing of The Blaydon Races, and chat to a charming, totally besotted with United young lady for the whole match.It was mine and my cousin’s ambition to drink a pint of Newcastle Brown in Newcastle and I did that, well 6 pints actually! Yes I suffered the following day but it was worth it.on the old Midland Red bus from my home town of Malvern, on my own for a change I think.
Newcastle deservedly beat us, 2-1 I think, but we put up a bloody good fight, on the pitch not the terraces, and Newcastle won after a great game. Newcastle and Villa have fans who have probably seen more anguish than pleasure in our supporting lives but both teams have fans that will always embrace our successes, forgive our weaknesses, sometimes hard, and always, always be there for our teams.Aston Villa v Newcastle United, it doesn’t get any better than that!
