Over four seasons - 1959-60 through to 1962-63 - both teams won the old First Division title and went head-to-head in the latter stages of the FA Cup. Indeed, in that time, neither team finished outside the top four.
We beat Burnley in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Villa Park on our way to clinching the historic double of league and FA Cup in 1961. We then beat Burnley again in the 1962 FA Cup Final as we defended the trophy at Wembley.
That success was delivered by the great Bill Nicholson, who added the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963 as we became the first British team to win a European trophy.
