Aston Villa completed a 7-0 first-round triumph over Valur on this day in 1981 as we took the first steps on our historic journey to lifting the European Cup!
Having secured a 5-0 win at Villa Park in the first leg, Villa travelled to Iceland to take on Valur in the second leg in Reykjavik and duly wrapped up a 2-0 victory.
Gary Shaw's brace, one in each half which included a stunning strike for his second goal, ensured Villa sealed their place in the next round and a meeting with Dynamo Berlin.
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the club's incredible success, join us to relive our memorable route to the final in Rotterdam.
