From a fan of a unbeaten side---thanks.

@Al Zheimer. No you dont

Glad there's one Rangers fan with respect for anything at all. I was at the "match" on October 9th 1976 when the Rangers fans showed some of the most disgusting behaviour I have ever seen - and it was supposed to be a friendly. To call them animals is an insult to animals. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n52eibyJ29-0l6s.html

How did you feel after Gerrard?

@@danny4063 I'm not really sure what Gerrard has to do with it. The fact that he was manager of Rangers until November 2021 doesn't change my opinion of the Rangers fans in 1976.

WELL, I GUESS BY NOW, YOU KNOW 'WE' ARE BACK IN THE TOP LEAGUE LATER THIS YEAR ? (2019--20 SEASON)

and looking into my Crystal Ball--yes, Villa beat Liverpool 7--2.

We are back lad!!

I DON'T REMEMBER MANY PLAYER'S WITH THEIR TALENTS, LET ALONE, BETTER.

totally agree

@@hockleyrebelDJ When I first saw this comment I said hang on a minute there were sure better players at the time in England. Keegan was better than Shaw that is a fact. Mariner was almost as good as Withe and maybe here you have a point. Channon used to play upfront and before that Latchford was prefered. Both good players but in 1980-82 era Withe was better. Morley was good, but at the time Peter Barnes was considered better Woodcoock would also play there. Swain could never get in as right-back as there was Neal at the time and Anderson as his reserve and in the late seventies there was also Cherry at Leeds all considered better by all. As for Cowans that was Hoddle's position. Mortimer's position in midfield was at first taken by Coppel and later by Wilkins and of course Bryan Robson all 3 quality world class players. However, all my research came into question when I saw the results of England in 1981 when this Villa team was at its best. In 1981 England only won two matches both against Hungary. In 1981 England lost against Spain (Wembley), Brazil (Wembley), Scotland (Wembley), Norway (Oslo) and Switzerland (Basle). They drew with Romania (Wembley) and Wales (Wembley). Considering these results all my previous analysis seems futile and it begs the question how Greenwood kept his job after such a bad patch of results. Maybe your analyis at least for the period 1981 seems to make a lot of sense. So congratulations for your comment and for making me change my mind. By the way I am a Liverpool fan and not a Villa fan, but what's right is right.

What a classy footballer Tony Morley was! Stupid Ron Greenwood took him to the World Cup in Spain and didn't play him for even a minute. I remember as recently as the last match against Spain in the second stage group, he only brought on Keegan and Brooking with 17 minutes to go./Their only appearance during England's entire participation/. In my opinion, with any other coach, England would easily have played in the final, and why not win the cup, despite Italy's up-tempo team.

@@ManiMani548 Ron greenwood was a strange appointment as England coach

Tony Dorigo too. UTV

Arsenal let him go--FAR too early

Very true and then years later history repeated it self

@@MrDaiseymay You might be right, but they did get Jennings, who Spurs definitely let go too early.

Stevanski007 And only used 14 players

Carl Esq Yes, an amazing achievement. Sad that Eamon Deacey is no longer with us.
