Good win:
-
Good find thanks.
-
Remember that game well.....notable for two good Daley crosses that didn't end up in the stand.
-
So Daley or Ash then?
-
Ashley for me, i remember the game but not that well memory not what it used to be.
-
Daley was much faster than Ash more able to dribble however the end product was usually crap!
-
I remember that season for many reasons but 1 was winning an accumulator bet i had on Swindon. To get relegated, fiinish bottom and concede 100 goals. First two were never in doubt however it needed 2 gaols by Leeds ( Danny Wallace) in the last 10 minutes of the last game of the season to get to 100.
-
I remember seeing a Swindon fan crying after this. Sorry to say I laughed, I was 13 and cruel. You'd have thought they were used to it that season
-
Swindon were terrible, weren't they?
Nice crossing from Tony, Tony Daley. Could someone send the link to Ashley Young?
-
17 years ago today. Scary huh?
-
Yes, very. Great find, though.

I was just about to post this link myself! Great stuff. This made it on to volume one of the Premier League Classic Matches DVD sets i found in HMV the other week. Five disks in each box yet we only feature on the first disk of the first volume, the games featuring us are this one and Everton at home from 2002 (Hendrie 2, Dublin). Man United are on EVERY single disk at least once.
Anyway, a great game vs Swindon, a week or two before the epic Tranmere second leg. Amazing to think we were second favourites for the FA Cup back then!
-
Great post, what an attack we had back then.. mind you swindon were bobbins!
-
was the swindon goalie called jon sheffield he had 40 or 99 on his shirt he was crap but on that years champ man was amazing (him for cambridge????)
i still have the programme and match ticket priced at 1.50 and 4.50. all this just a couple of weeks before the best sunday lunchtime match ever at villa park.
good times.
-
Yes Jon Sheffield who wore no. 40. I remember the away fixture at Swindon that season, Shaun Teale Man of Steel scored the equalizer after Ehiogu gave them a penalty and the winner came from Dalian Atkinson who'd done sod all else the rest of the afternoon. Happy days.

My abiding memory of that day is, unfortunately, being stopped for speeding on the M54 on the way home from the match, and getting the only 3 points I've had on my licence!

How fast were you going?
90 m.p.h., so I deserved it.
-
I drove back so fast from Luton once after a defeat, that we got back home quicker than we used to from Villa Park. I think I was doing 110mph at one point, that's how pissed off I was.
Very stupid and very lucky not to get nicked.
-
My first game I went to and one of the best days of my life. I had waited so long to see a game a Villa Park will never forget walking into the Holte End for the first time seeing the pitch before me.
Two weeks later and 17 years ago today I went to the League Cup Semi against Tranmere still the best game I have been to.
Thanks for posting the link.
