2/6/1971
Nigel Spink replaces an injured Jimmy Rimmer after 9 minutes of the 1982 #EuropeanCupFinal.
In 5 seasons with #AstonVilla, the 23-year-old keeper had only played 90 first-team minutes.
It was to prove an iconic call to duty.
Never a truer word! Best ignore TACO & do something positive & fun! So wishing everyone a fun, safe & peaceful weekend wherever you are!😊
As for me - I’ll be watching the final stages of the #TourDeFrance & catch up on the #Lionesses 🏴 in the #EuropeanCupFinal
