Dennis MortimerChris Jager wrote: I have many nostalgic memories of following Villa, especially during those days during the early 1980s. Having just started work in the summer of 1980 I decided I was going to follow Villa home and away during the forthcoming season, what I didn't know was what was just about to happen.

I remember being at Maine Road, Manchester and feeling a sixth sense, a feeling that we were on the verge of something special. I was hooked and by the time I witnessed Tony Morley's goal of the season at Everton I sensed the league title was ours.

Arsenal away last game was an incredible experience - a feeling that one day I hope we can all experience once again. I never knew what an anti-climax was until the next day when I drove home feeling the after effects of an adrenalin come down.

There is no way in a million years that I could experience anything like that again. How wrong I was. Just over a year later I was on a ferry out of Dover looking back at those white cliffs thinking I must savor every moment of this because this really is happening. It was an adventure travelling to Rotterdam and the excitement was unbearable.

When Peter Withe shinned the ball over the line I was once again filled with those indescribable feelings of exhilaration.

A few years later I remember getting married and stood up to do my speech. It started "This is the second greatest day of my life, when Dennis Mortimer held the European cup aloft in Rotterdam THAT was the greatest day of my life". We are divorced now?oh well.
