I actually went to this game as a 12 year old for my birthday present. Amazing day and I remember being so nervous. Liverpool were such a dominant club of that era and to beat them in a single game let alone the league was an amazing achievement. The players also look so much healthier in this era, not one time did the trainers come on and a little known fact in this season but Aston Villa used on 14 players in the whole season and one of them only played one game I seem to remember. A simpler, happier time with much more passion, just listen to the fans too. Thank you for posting, I really appreciated this nostalgic trip down memory lane

I went to the villa v Southampton game on march 28th which was my 12th birthday. First villa game I ever went too. I remember listening to this game on the radio BRMB - and being so happy when Mortimer scored

Love these villa videos,when villa ruled

this match was the turning point in Villa quest for the 1980/81 league title. Later the title race was between Villa and Ipswich whereas Liverpool gradually drifted out and concentrated on the European Cup they last won in 1978.

I still remember this to this day. I went with my dad and my mate Stuart Robinson and his dad. I Remember going up to my dad when Mortimer scored the second goal and asking my dad if he was ok . Wonderful memories.

I was there (LFC fan). Great game, even better memories , as I actually scored a hat trick in the morning for my school team, then Villa ruined the day haha

How good was Kenny swain - amazing touches and runs he made

This Villa team didn't get many England players caps, stupidly Ron Saunders left & they won the ECup & within 2-3 years it fell apart.

Some great videos Villa Boy but they'd be a lot better to watch if you didn't tell us the score.

Eh?

@@VillaBoy Your videos reveal the score in the titles. It would make better viewing if we didn't know the result beforehand.
