International football competition
The 1981–82 season of the European Cup football club tournament was won for the only time by Aston Villa in the final against Bayern Munich . It was the sixth consecutive year that an English club won the competition. Liverpool , the defending champions, were eliminated by CSKA Sofia in the quarter-finals.
The final is remembered mainly for the performance of young stand-in goalkeeper Nigel Spink who made a host of saves from the experienced Bayern players. Villa's winning goal came from Peter Withe who converted Tony Morley 's cross in off the post.
