Title: Scoring against the Blues
Post by: tomd2103 on January 25, 2018, 05:55:06 PM

Good question on WM tonight to win a pair of tickets for the Blues game.  We have played them 42 times in league games over the past 50 years and 27 different Villa players have scored against them.  Name one of them -

That was in the Coca Cola cup wasn't it?

I only quickly scanned the replies so far. Has anyone said Garry Thompson yet?

Yep, so was Dean Saunders.  We didn't play them in the League throughout the 90s, so there won't be anyone from that era in the list.

My answer: Darius Vassell.

Me, you, all of us :) I mean it's the Blues, anyone can score against them.

I loved Deano's goal in the League Cup that they claim was offside, despite him still being in his own half when the ball was played.

The first goal I saw us score against the noses while actually being at the game itself was Allan Evans at the sty in the title winning season. The first I saw us score against them at Villa Park was Gary Shaw's late winner on Easter Monday 1983.

I've just looked it up and the first Villa goal against them in my lifetime was scored by Chico Hamilton in a 2-1 win at Villa Park (attendance 53,782) in September 1975, shortly before my fifth birthday and four years before my first visit to Villa Park.

First in mine was Bruce Rioch in a 2-0 win at the Sty in 1970. It was also the first Villa win after I was born, Villa obviously knew it was time to celebrate my 18th (day).
