Vote for your classic claret and blue game-changing moments

New initiative launches with club partners 188SPORT

Quote
188SPORT today launched its new 'Moments In Time' initiative, encouraging Aston Villa fans to vote on their all-time favourite game-changing moments.

The online campaign draws on how a specific moment, whether a 30-yard thunderbolt, an injury-time equaliser, a last-gasp tackle or a goal-keeping blunder, can change the course, and ultimately the outcome of a football match.

With support from six Premier League partner clubs (Aston Villa FC, Bolton Wanderers FC, Chelsea FC, Everton FC, Liverpool FC and Wigan Athletic FC), the initiative has collated some of the greatest game-changing moments from the respective clubs' histories.

Is it Peter McParland's second goal against Manchester United, which effectively clinched the 1957 FA Cup or Nigel Spink coming on as a substitute, due to a Jimmy Rimmer neck injury, in the 1982 European Cup final?

Spink pulled off some glorious saves to keep a clean sheet against a strong Bayern Munich side en route to a 1-0 victory.

The online forum features exclusive content from Aston Villa club legends and ambassadors, including Ashley Young detailing his favourite 'Moment In Time' playing for the club.

But the site is designed for football fans of all ages to join in the debate, simply by uploading their own moments or commenting on others.

Terry Venables, former England manager and 188SPORT Ambassador, said: "So often in a game of football there will be an instant that either impacts or changes the outcome of the match.

'Moments In Time' is a great way for fans to discuss these moments and we're looking forward to seeing the suggestions that supporters come up with."

The campaign is completely free for fans to get involved with and a range of match tickets to see Aston Villa in action are being given away as part of the initiative.

Those who contribute to the site by uploading their favourite moments could see their moment featured in the match day programme.

To get involved in 'Moments In Time' and be in with a chance of winning match tickets, simply click here and join the debate.

Dalian's goal (the 3rd one) against Tranmere at Villa Park in 1994.

Something to do with the League Cup semi back last season I'm sure.

Merson against Everton in the 93rd minute.  Does anyone have a video?

Not game-changing as such, but simply bloody brilliant:

I will go for the time the referee gave an indirect free kick against Spinky in his own box at the Manor Ground. Oxford scored, we lost, we got relegated.

Is that the kind of thing?

Or the time Beelzebub came on for QPR while we were 2-0 up, and we booed him so mercilessly that he scored a hat-trick.

That will live with me alright

Ditto his goal in the home leg.

The penalty and subsequent red card in the semi last season were pretty game changing.
