Rotherham to Rotterdam - An Aston Villa Quiz Book - Michael Baker - Bog

If you followed Villa in the 1970's and early 80's you are sure to love this book! If you have a relative, grandparent or parent who followed Villa in the 1970's and early 80's they are sure to love this book! If you have a friend who followed Villa in the 1970's and early 80's they too are sure to love this book! A lifetime of following the team began, for the author, at a stage where Aston Villa was at a real low point and yet it was to herald a golden age packed full of memories as the great club went through a relatively rapid transition from Division 3 also-rans to Champions of Europe.
This book provides a unique opportunity to revisit those years by using your (and your family and friends') recall to tackle the 500 or so questions and teasers that cover those times in detail. Enjoy your memories of the players, the places, the great goals, the crucial goals, the great saves, the great European nights, the great Cup nights, the controversies and the larger than life personalities as they flood back.
Make no mistake, this is a Premier League free zone. If you fondly remember wearing scarfs on your wrists, waiting nearly a day for highlights on Star Soccer (maybe in monochrome!), clapping the opposition goalie on the Holte End then booing when he waved back, queuing at the newsagent to get the Final edition of the Sports Argus, lots and lots of balloons, watching Andy Lochhead warm up in his green jumper, and checking the Vernons' Pools then you will, I am sure, relish the challenge of this book. This is a perfect gift for even the most die-hard Villa fan who experienced these magical times.
