As a 9 year old in 1970 I saw Aston Villa knocked out of the FA Cup in the first round for thevfirstbtime in their illustrious history. And it was illustrious then. Villa were still mega. Southend beat them 1-0 at Roots Hall. Villa had fallen to the old Division 3 for the first-time in their history. I feel sorry for their supporters. They deserve better. I feel pleased for Wolves, another great name from the past who are coming back.I can see Villa sliding down through the leagues with their inability to recruit anything other than cheap loans.
