Beating Wimbledon 7-1. After going one down too. Deano and Tommy J with hat tricks, though one of these may have been chalked off

I also remember us doing them 5-0 I think just before Christmas 1996. With The Holte singing 'Merry Christmas Wimbledon'.

And 'Merry Christmas Vinnie Jones' which I reminded him of a few years later at a publishers do. Wimbledon were on a really long unbeaten as well before that game.

The best Villa game I can think of is the Ronny Rosenthal miss, Deanos home debut and we beat them 4-2 after being behind

He probably bit a few reporters noses and then went and shot some animals. Then went and made a straight to DVD film.

Some of the games in 95-6 up until the League Cup final were truly outstanding.  WHU 4-1 away especially has a soft spot in the back of my mind.

The 2-0 away at Middlesbrough at New Year always sticks with me. A thunderbolt from Alan Wright then a magnificent team goal that must have had about fifty passes in the build up. The touch from Tommy Johnson to bring the ball down and slam it into the far corner was a thing of beauty. I loved that season, we played some glorious football.

That 2-1 win against 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' with Collymore scoring two was great, particularly as Michael Owen took a - ahem - tumble to put them one up from the penalty spot.

I'll always have a soft spot for the 1-0 against Liverpool with Ian Taylor bagging the goal. Seemed like we lost two or three nil to them throughout the nineties, often with an unlucky goal against. Tayls' celebration seemed to have a bit of fan's relief in it.

We certainly did, even draws at home like Forest, Newcastle and Arsenal were epics.

The next one. When the traffic problems around Villa Park won't matter either way as we will all have flying cars.

The first one nil Kevin Phillips win at the Sty was just the best.

I still breathe a sigh of relief at the thought of it.

The 1-0 Ian Taylor game was great. I watched it in a pub where I was working behind the bar with a Liverpool fan.
