Mine is Mid October

October 15 for me.

The most memorable games I've seen on that date:

Villa 3 Norwich 0 - 15/10/1977 (Gray, Cowans, Little - what a trio of scorers)

Villa1 Blues 0 - 15/10/1983 (Withe's shot trickling over the muddy line, Blues missing a pen, Noel Blake head butting Steve McMahon....)

Off the top of my head I think our home game against Fulham a few years ago was on my birthday. 30th August.

We won 2-1 with a last minute Maloney goal and it was a sunny day, I had an ice cream before the match.

Somebody will probably point out that it wasn't actually on the 30th now....

Mine's the 18 May so usually the season is over.

The FA cup final on 20 May 2000 is the worst villa defeat I associate with a birthday.

Mine has happened just once in my lifetime that I'm aware of, certainly only once since the 80's and it was a good un. 

24th May 2009

Villa Park

Villa 1-0 Newcastle

Barcodes relegated!!!  Due to the date being so far at the end of May the league doesn't go on that long but that season the fixtures were pushed back 2 weeks.  Result! 

This year we have Liverpool at home on May 22nd, which is not my b'day but it's only 2 days away so I'm claiming it as a piss up anyway.

Mine is May 23rd so I guess I'll just spare myself the research and go with yours.

Research?  Surely you remember that one!?

It wasn't.

We did beat Chelsea 2-0 on the 1st September that season though...
