What are your favourite memories from a classic stadium, if not slightly awkward fan-base?

[wittonwarrior]

A match I missed our first away win back in Div 1 1976 the saturday after Man City away Brian  Little breaking the deadlock.

1981 3-1 at Woodison four scousers in the Villa Team plus an ex Everton McNaught.  Set us on the way to the title

and of course Stone and Carbone  in the 1/4 final in 2000

Plus of course the Danes goal in the Gladys Street right at the end of the game

Best Villa atmosphere though was the end  of season game the 3-3 with Tony Casc  scoring

[Old Kodjia]

For me, the stand out game was the 3-3 last game of the season in 1990 after Graham Taylor had taken us to 2nd in the league. (we were challenging for the title up until the last month or so when we blew up).  Coupled with the 3-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday in Big Rons first game, I think it was the best away support I've experienced.

I was at the 3-1 when Morley won the goal of the season which was also a great day, even if the memories of that one are a tad jaded now.

Also, was a fantastic performance under Big Ron when we fielded 9 black players and won 2-0.

I always enjoyed Goodison, a great away trip

Went to the 3-0 defeat in 2014 so not great memories.

We did always used to do well there when MON was manager.....that 3-2 with Young scoring the winner which I think was 8 years ago this weekend of course is the first game I remember.

Could anyone post a video of that...Legion....

and of course Stone and Carbone  in the 1/4 final in 2000

The Carbone QF was my last away game before leaving the U.K.....not counting the SF and debacle in the final.

[Axl Rose]

Where's the video of Young's last minute winner?

I remember, as a youth, Fashunu scoring(maybe he didn't) on his debut there. First game of 94-95? I remember Gregory's team running riot in 98, too.

I have to say Everton are probably the only Premier League team I have never hated. Some good mates are Everton fans, and I've always seen them as similar to us. Just not as classy.

You wouldn't say  that if you went there in  the  70's plus they have got a bit of the SH syndrome of being extremely  bitter.  Certainly not a bigger club than the Villa.

You're probably right about the 70's thing. I was just being thought up as an idea by my mum and dad about that point!

The bitter thing I can kind of understand. Imagine sharing a city with that horrid lot from Liverpool. It must be awful. At least our neighbours are all shit and very very very very rarely ever successful.

2005-06, early ko & late arrival, police escort for the coach through the traffic, arrived at 0-1, lost 1-4, sh*t game but great day out. Gabby's first goal for us I think. Free pies at the end and the p*ss take songs about DoL throughout the game

[eamonn]

Moyes struggled to get the better of O'Neill in our games but they always(?) finished ahead of us during the hat-trick of sixths.

Your mum and dad if they went the aways 40 odd years ago would probably know me and other posters on here. Scary thought.

Whenever Villa played Everton, my MiL always used to remember her friend from the war years. Her name was Muriel Thomason and she lived on Muriel St right next to Goodison Park.

I also loved that house near the ground that had a chippy in the front room.

[Deano's Mullet]

You're forgetting our record there in the 90s too, we regularly did the double over them.

1993 Whittingham debut goal in the green and black Muller kit
1996 Ehiogu 1-0 white AST kit
1998 4-1 thrashing, Yorke got two and even Charles got one
2001 Merson lob in last minute of game

[Darlo Dave]

Had a ticket for the Ashley Young 2-3 match, but my Grandad died in the week running up to the match, so ended up not going. Despite the fact I missed one of the great Villa moments of the past couple of decades, it still cheered us up after a horror of a week.

Remember going to this one ( evening game?) and it was at the time when Refs used to wear green shirts and black shorts. I'm sure the ref and linesmen changed into white Everton away shirts in the second half.
