Commencing countdown, engines on! Now just 21 days to go...
On this day in history: in 1957 Aston Villa won the FA Cup at Wembley, beating the famous Busby Babes of Manchester United 2-1, with the gols being scored by Peter McParland. Here's those great players:
We salute these Heroes:
Nigel Sims, Stan 'The Wham' Lynn, Peter Aldis, Stan Crowther, Jimmy Dugdale, Pat Saward, Les Smith, Jackie Sawall, Bill Myerscough, Johnny Dixon (Captain), Peter McParland. Thanks, men, now let's win it again Villa!
We're off to Villa Park tonight for the 'Back To Rotterdam' night in the Holte Suite, it's going to be great to see the 1982 European Cup side together again, and then tomorrow (Sir) Dennis Mortimer and co are parading the European Cup before the game. Heady days!
Finally today, pleased to report a big improvement in my Nan's health, thankfully. Oh, and also happy Star Wars Day - May the fourth be with you! :-)
And last but not least, we've set up an official countdown here
