Here's one for me.
I used to love Mortimer, such an underrated player. Also, a truly great football beard man.
I've just sat and watched that goal four or five times in a row, and still got goosebumps every single time.
-
That is amongst my favourite all time Villa goals.
I was on the Holte that day and the ball seemed to take an age to go in.
That was the result that made me realise that we could actually win the league.
-
I was there for that and I was also in Goodison Park a few weeks later when he scored an almost identical goal in a 3-1 win, the match that saw Tony Morley score what turned out to be goal of the season. I swear that the ball was still picking up speed when it hit the back of the net.
-
That through ball from Shaw is among the best you'll ever see. The weight on it is perfect, and the replay view just shows the space he gave Mortimer to run with. Taking nothing away from our Dennis (we've seen many a Villa striker bottle a one-on-one) but he even looks surprised to have that much room.
-
I will never ever tire of seeing the first half of this video.
The second half is unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
-
Seriously, why would you make a video that included both of those incidents?

I didnt, but it was the best footage of that goal I could find. Agree with your point though.

Three for the collection:
Dalian's will always be there. My favourite bit (aside from the brolly) is the way he stops just before chipping the ball over the keeper. It's as if he said to himself 'what can I do here that's going to top that run?'

Love that one. Never seen it before.

Step forward Mr Cahill.

Always brings a tear to my eye even now knowing it was the beginning of the end of his Villa career.
-
So it's not a Villa goal. I still don't think i've seen a goal that made me go "what the fuck!" as much as this one. I still can't get over how the ball boy ducks.
-
I can't find it on Youtube but Tony Morley's second in Berlin against Dynamo in 1981 where he ran the length of the pitch.
On the subject of Brazil goals though this is my favourite.

Thanks. The volley for the 1st is fantastic as well.

Ignore the Ruddock bit.
Great game I was in the trinity, I think I have the ticket stub somewhere!
-
Goal of the season 1981.
-
Most of the goals I remember best have already been mentioned like Tony Morley's against Everton and Berlin, Alan McInally's against Millwall, Dalian's at Wimbledon and Deano's against Ipswich. One that always seems to be forgotten as it was during the grim times of 1986 is Steve Hunt and Simon Stainrod in a game against Leicester at Villa Park combining at a free kick not unlike the famous old Ernie Hunt and Willie Carr Coventry goal.
-
Goal of the season 1981.
I have'nt saw much of Morley but watching that I love the technique of the way he ran with the ball.
-
-
Mark Draper's freekick against Peterborough in '95. Doubt it's easy to find any footage of it though.
-
My 1st ever trip to the sty, after being chased and feeling the adrenaline pumping of being inside the away end at our rivals for the 1st time, this was the perfect way to end the day!
Sheer relief on this one:
I was right behind the goal for this. Never been so nervous in my life
-
This is one of my favourite goals ever, Ronnie Radford's against Newcastle, and I love that it still gets dug out every year in the FAC coverage.
This is 1970s football encapsulated in one clip - the shitty state of the pitch, the less than athletic looking scorer, the kids in parkas and duffel coats bursting onto the pitch as it hits the net. Absolutely everything about it is brilliantly evocative of the era.
-
Robbie Keane's 2nd against the dingles!

I really liked being locked in the car park after the game for an hour and a half !! While the knuckle draggers were doing their cavemen impressions outside. What a shithole that place truly is.
-
We didn't get locked in on the 09 game. I think we did on the 07 game and the CC game last year, but the only 2 times I been we walked straight out. With WMP last time bumbing me into the crowds of Blose fans that had just been screeching zulu whilst the Villa fans carried on down the other road
-
Dalian Atkinson against Tranmere.
Best game ever!
-
Remember this game being absolutely dreadful, then Merson just does this. Very strange day, but great memory to take away from it.

It was a very good goal. I do think you could have driven a bus - and a pretty wide one at that - through that Liverpool defence though!
-
Dalian Atkinson against Tranmere.
Best game ever!
Spoke to a couple of Tranmere fans after the game who said they had never heard a roar like the one following Dalian's goal
-

I've only been to Goodison twice and both times we've won thanks to last minute winners. This game and the Ashley Young game in 2008/09.

Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooot !!

my favourite goal, wind on to 19 secs
perfect McGrath tackle, raking Cowans pass, Daley at his best, away end goes ballistic and best of all it was at the Albion. They say there's no such thing as true perfection but here I have evidence to the contrary

Steward at the end, clearly a Villa fan, pumping his fist and shouting "that's my man!" at Daley.

I can't find it in youtube...yet.

Villa 7-1 Wimbledon 94-95

Have only read the thread title. I will nominate the one I smacked in from 30 yards direct from a free kick against St Benedicts in the final year of school.
So good that people stopped behind after the gane to try it themselves and we did the local school rivals.
-
Just heard that Hitzlsperger has retired, so decided to make my way over to this thread to watch his goals again.
-
Atkinson's wondergoal against Wimbledon in '93.

Robbie Keane's 2nd v Wolves, January 2012 - was right in-line with his shot in the away end. Pure Quality.
