In February, 1972, a crowd of over 48,000 packed into Villa Park to watch Aston Villa take on Bournemouth.

The attendance was a record for a third division fixture, with both teams competing for promotion at the time.

Gordon, Ian, Lee, Peter and Ken were all there, supporting their teams in what was an electric atmosphere.

Now, over forty years later, they share their memories of that day and help us reflect on how different football has become.
