On this day in 1982, Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich 1-0 to win the European Cup.
Played at the Feyenoord Stadion in Rotterdam, Villa suffered an early blow after goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer was forced to leave the pitch with a neck injury. The former Manchester United and Arsenal custodian was already injured and had started the game relying on painkillers. But with the pain refusing to subside, manager Tony Barton decided to withdraw him for Nigel Spink.
Villa, clearly the underdogs prior to the game, took a surprise lead in the 67th minute courtesy of a goal from forward Peter Withe.
