In 1970 his name was on our football along With Pele, Eusebaio, Garrincha, Tostao , Carlos Alberto, Best. Di Stefano, Mathews and Puskas ! God bless Sir Johan Cruyff.

Back in the days, Ajax won the European Cup three times in a row, thanks to total football icon Cruijff - who is still a legend today. I'm sure he would still make the difference in today's game!

Serves them right. We were one nil up on the return leg at Barca and Gidman got sent off. Lost 2-1. Oh well. Up the Villa!

This was back in the day when they used to have a mole problem in the UK.

[@charlesbill970]

I went to this game, at the time there were big problems with the pitch, unlike the surfaces of today I they used an helicopter to try an dry the pitch out. The players to day wouldn't cope with the state of the pitches back then. If remember right, they slit grooves in the turf and filled it with sand...

[@jamiemacdonald208]

I was at this game too. Sitting in the North Stand with my late dad. We were looking straight down the pitch behind Cruyff when he scored. The pictures do not do justice to the accuracy of the shot. When Cruyff was substituted in the 2nd half. Everyone stood and clapped him off the pitch. I'd never seen that before and I've never seen that since. It finished 2 - 2 with Villa scoring 2 late goals. In the 2nd leg in Barcelona Villa scored first. Brian Little. Then they scored four. Four years later Mortimer lifted the European Cup for Villa when we beat Bayern Munich 1 - 0 in Rotterdam. Villa 1 of only 5 English clubs to be champions of Europe.

Es curioso creo,q la única vez q le vi en directo no fue con el barsa , AJAX ni Holanda....fue en un Atlético Madrileño -levante en segunda del año 81.
