58 Years of Hurt, in all its awfulness

[Mouse Potato]

I was at Plough Lane and it is physically impossible to get any wetter!

Sad fact alert. In the history if matches between Villa and Wimbledon I have never missed one. Home or away. It is no wonder the wife wants me committed.

was one of those wimbledon exits a replay. I travelled down for a midweek game but it was called off due to fog. then went down for the re-arranged fixture. was that a cup match i recall we lost

ive seen us go out to Wimbledon at villa park, not sure what year it was, but a scuffed effort rolling slow motion across the Holte end goal line by I don't know who, to send us out, sufficed that year.

I don't know about having you committed. It is the crimes you must have committed in a previous life to have deserved going through all those Wimbledon games I would wonder about.

Hello Mr Hoddle, how's tricks

My earliest memory is as a nine year old watching the wrestling on World Of Sport when the West Ham score came up and we had conceded the late penalty goal. I was at the Oldham QF game in 1990, which was pretty grim but we still had the league to play for. The one that got to me the most was Liverpool in '92. Phillip Don was ref and gave us nothing. It didn't help that they went on to win the trophy by beating two average second division sides. Looking through all those games from 1980 onwards, strangely the only one I can't recall at all is Everton in 2009.

We're about the same age and I remember being gutted at the time.  Was it a dodgy penalty?  If anyone who was there or has a better memory can enlighten (and depress) us it would be appreciated.  Cheers

Here you go.

What on earth was Ken thinking ?

Ken reckoned that David Cross nudged his arm as the cross came in, causing KM to 'handle' the ball.

The West Ham penalty was Ken Mcnaught inexplicably jumping missing the flight of the ball and pushing the ball deliberately with his hand. To this day I have never understood why he did it.

Are you talking about the penalty or deciding to join Albion?

[dave.woodhall]

That would never be given today, and it shouldn't have been given then.
