6 foot 2 eyes of blue Chrissy Nichol's after you.........SO RUN!!!!! One of the first songs I learned up in the Holte End, great memories of a proper Villa hero, especially that 40 yarder v Everton. Quiz question for you, why was his nickname Desmond?
An absolute legend for us, and as a manager later at Saints brought on some unknows like Shearer and Le Tiss. RIP big man.

Yeah, a proper CB. A hero to a younger me.

I was at Filbert Street when he earned that nickname (he scored all the goals in a 2-2 draw).

HEITS

Nicely done Exiled, I wondered who else would be old enough to remember it, one of the maddest games I can ever remember being at!

Ah, OSV, not so fast, I don’t quite qualify to join your senior ranks just yet. When I was between the ages of 11-15 my uncle studied at Loughborough Uni. He was able to acquire free Main Stand tickets for all of the East Mids clubs, through the Students Union.

So I would have been around 11, as opposed to your late 20s at the time

Cheeky young whippersnapper, I'll have you know i was a ****ager for the majority of the 70's!!!!
