Title: Aston Villa win the Coca-Cola Cup .... in 1993
Post by: Deano's Mullet on September 20, 2015, 07:09:53 PM

I'd heard of this game - it was mentioned at the start of the 93-94 season vhs but never seen any footage so here is Villa playing in the summer of 1993 in Tokyo vs Yomiuri Nippon. Heres the full 90 mins. Any one go to this game?

Bloody hell Dalian's second was a bit special.

What minutes are the highlights? Life might be a bit short for the whole thing.

Yes, some goal the 2nd by Dalian!! He could've been great if only he'd applied himself 100%.

1hr. 27min. 35 seconds to start the build up to the goal.

Great strike.  Shit first touch mind :)

I don't remember anything about this game!

Also, unusual to play a game on block wooden flooring...

See good Dalian played in this game. Such a shame, he was such a brilliant player when he could be bothered.

Never knew this game happened either, its nice to stumble upon a rare gem especially as it was my happiest time to be a Villa fan, still our best ever team that side from 92 to 94ish.
