There's always an air of special atmosphere, excitement, flair etc... when English clubs play in the European cups

I’m unluckily old enough to remember when we won !! It’s one of my happiest memories from childhood!! Absolutely fantastic and still gives me goosebumps!! 😍UTV ❤️

Aston Villa..English footballing royalty

I was 13 when Villa won! Against outright favourites Bayern Munich! It was incredible! I was in the crowd at City Centre Celebrations! You can't describe thr feelings of shared joy, for the whole City! When it really meant something special when only The Champions could play in it! And then we beat Barcelona in The Super Cup! Legends! 👏👏🏆🏆

Well done Villa. I remember them doing this, as a Scouser and Liverpool supporter I was extremely proud and pleased for Villa. They had fantastic players and staff. They fully deserved their victory.

I'd have sworn we got him off villa...what a striker tho 💪

I was 20 in 82 a great time to be a villa fan was at arsenal in 81 when we won the title bizarre realy lost 2.0 but Ipswich lost to Middlesbrough great memories in the Saunders era .

Just missed out on this era being born in '85 but I watched our 90's Coca Cola cup wins. I remember our intertoto win and the quarter final of the Uefa vs Athletico. I see us winning something big soon under the current reign. UTV.

Villa won the League with just 14 players and the European Cup with just 15, and teams like Man City, PSG and Juventus can’t win it with all the money in the world. Football Heritage. What a story.

From Istanbul with 🏆

26 May 1982.8.15pm kick off.. Feynoord stadium Rotterdam. Hot n sultry evening. Lotsa bolshy swaggering Bayern fans .Most orgasmic ecstatic night of my life. Withe's shin got the winner. Morley on the wing fantastic to set it up. But for me, man of the match. Gotta be Nigel Spink.

Happy memories indeed. 21 at the time and wasn't going to miss the trip to rotterdam despite my boss not wanting to give me the time off. I went anyway, what am experience, such great days as a villan. UTV

Childhood memories. Though only 13, I can still say "I was there".

Great video. Brings back many memories. Villa were one helluva team in the early '80s, Withe, Morley and Shaw up front were complete dynamite.

Yeah man Tony Morley hat lots of speed , pace... He also wore Pony(Brand) Fooball boots which was very unusual for English players during those days

14 at the time will never forget the pure joy of the whole experience

Fun Fact: In addition to the local success, Peter Withe was known for big success with the team that considered weaker than English football. In 2002, Withe managed Thailand national football team to the successful Tiger Cup (the old name of AFF Championship), when they beat Indonesia on penalties. Ironically, Withe decided to coach Indonesia for 2004 Tiger Cup, two years after our country were so close to win that prize under Bulgarian coach Ivan Kolev. Our country has numerous fantastic results such as 3-0 win over co-host Vietnam and memorable comeback 4-1 win over Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur, after losing 1-2 at Jakarta. Despite he failed to match the same feat as he did with Thailand, losing to Singapore in the Final, at least he was infamous in Southeast Asian football.

1 was there unforgettable night

Love this. My personal golden era as well. Small correction, Peter Withe came from Newcastle for £500k

see that crowd of people in the early picture, I’m in that picture.

when that "novice goalie came on i was nearly in tears , i thought we`d have no chance

One of the best nights in my life:

And with Unai Emry at the helm hopefully "We win again". Europe here we come. But, I would swap a Champions League Cup for the Holy Grail....FA Cup. I was at Feynoord Stadium in Rotterdam on 26th May 1982 to see fantastic achievement of Dennis Mortimer raising European Cup. But I need an FA Cup win in my lifetime. My dad went to Wembley and saw Villa beat Man Utd in 1957 FA Cup. (We haven't won it since). I was but a twinkle in my dad's eye as I was born in 1959. So, an FA Cup win is what I pray for.😢😊

used cycle down to bodymoor heath to watch em ,including speaking to ron (great bloke )when we were kids ( it was just a heath then too😅

They were a great skillfull team

i was at arsenal last game of the season , quite by odd circumstances ,nonetheless i was there and still have the memories in my head . i went to the vila anderlecht game too 😅

Man Englandclubs was just so good up until that ban in Heysel incident in 1985. Just ruined it for all English clubs because the fans just were too rowdy. Then when they got back in it was dominated by the Italians in the 90's. It took years until English clubs got back to the now Champions League final.

Unforgettable night I was there very difficult to beat villa

40 years

I was 15 at the time and was outside the Town Hall on Friday night.

Cant believe Saunders was so desperate to join a club and out of all clubs Birmingham. Not a great career move.

Exactly - everyone needs to know it too ! I think every league club, if not a debt, owes us a nod of gratitude. My name is Duncan Edwards, I came from Whittington, but now in Cornwall, I despise Monstrosity Utd, whatever my name is.

Aston Villa was 11th in the 1981-82 league table when this team won European Cup.. So we cannot say Liverpool 05 & Chelsea 2012 were the worst team to ever won UCL although it was the different era

But they went on to win the Super Cup against Barcelona in that 1981-82 Season so they were still highly successful that season.
