Anyone remember Eamon Deacy? He used to play for Villa during this time

When I was growing up in the 90s I don't remember this Villa team being mentioned much at all. It was always Liverpol and Forest from that era who got referenced for winning the European Cup, rightly so. But Villa's win didn't seem to get the respect it deserved.

Interesting to see the Aston Villa side of the story. For Bayern this was a major blow that hurt them for a long time. This was the chance for the generation to win a European Cup and show that they were worthy successors to the Beckenbauer-Mueller-Maier gang in the 1970s. They didn't get that close again.

As a former amateur goalkeeper who has played in my country's version of the FA Cup, I can tell you this: that save at 4:16 was an ASTONISHING SAVE, especially for a totally match-rusty goalkeeper.

[TheAlbanians]

And they beat again them with the same result

[cureit]

And we won it with a reserve goalkeeper!
