I am really looking forward to this one, who is joining me to cheer City on to a win at Vill Park??

Ken which year was that starting XI: Swan, Davidson etc. you've got there? 1967-ish?

I'm looking forward to this. One of my best mates is a Villa fan and he'll be with another mate in the home end...Just hope I hold the bragging rights for the night out in Birmingham afterwards!

I'll be there, looking forward to it.

I'll be there, I quite like Villa Park and I think they could be undone, we owe them one after last season.

yep, at the KC we were very unlucky with Barmby's disallowed goal, Kamil's own-goal (certainly not to blame) and the "penalty that never was" episode. Later at Villa Park we were quite tight and lost 1-0. Good team but Man City have more firepower and the Tigers will be up for it.

I think its the 1966 promotion team...

Hi Dominic, Rob is right it is the 1966 promotion winning team and the most enjoyable season of football I have ever seen as a City fan since the late 1950's. To be fair lets face it that was never a penalty so justice was done although Barmby's goal was a perfectly good one.

Hi Ken, well I wasn't far off and since I wasn't born until '72 I never saw any of these players except on youtube! When I first started following the Tigers in the 80s our front man was called Andy Saville.

Saville is still around, guy who sits infront of me was with him at the club a couple of weeks back.

Having said that I know the names and my Grandad was friendly with manager Terry Neil. Some of the City team, definitely including Ken Houghton and Ian Butler played for Beverley Amateurs CC (run by by Grandad) and came round to dinner at my grandparents house in Beverley. In those days (as you'll know) it was football in the 'winter' and cricket in the 'summer' so they could. Even when Terry Neil went down to London to manage Arsenal, he sent my grandparents tickets as guests.

Terry Neill came a few years later, the manager then was Cliff Britton. I was sat next to Ken Houghton at the Liverpool away game this season, still a gent. Where about's in Beverley is/was the grandparents house (PM me if you do not want to say on here). Both Butler and Houghton were good cricketers, just a pity Houghton did not make it as a manager.

You just know the old favourite of the HDM's headlines if we do sneak something - 'The Thriller at the Villa'
