Rotterdam 82-When Aston Villa Won The European Cup | AFC Finners | Football History Documentary 

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! 👏👏🏆🏆

Aston Villa..English footballing royalty

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 .

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.

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

Part of the elite of English football and no one can take that away from us.

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

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.

ohh jimmy jimmy ...jimmy(x4) rimmmmer memories

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 ❤️

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.

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.

I think you will find villa brought peter withe from Newcastle who had purchase him from forest, this was my villa with my dad we went to most games around that time home and away i absolutely loved it . I was lucky enough to go to school with gary shaw at kingshurst comp but he was 2 years older that me , all this brings a tears to my eyes especially with my dad RIP

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

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.

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

Wonder how Ron Saunders felt that night

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

Clough not only said they shouldn't be in the final, he said they had no chance against bayern, and if they won he would buy them champagne. When they got back to the dressing room after the game, there was a case of champagne waiting with a note. Congratulations lads, Brian. What a gent.

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

One of the best nights in my life:

Bollocks to Liverpool and forest. It's our league which we founded up the villa

40 years

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.😢😊

UCL.... Liverpool 6 United 3 Chelsea 2 Forest 2 Villa 1.... Arsenal & City.... thanks for trying !!

1 was there unforgettable night

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.

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

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

Unforgettable night I was there very difficult to beat villa

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

They were a great skillfull team

thanks ! brings it all back

Peter withe was brought from Newcastle

Fantastic loved that Villa side.

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

A good old mate of mine was p art of that villa side. Sadly he passed away some years ago, Eamon Deacy .
