Title: 6 (six)
Post by: London Villan on October 01, 2023, 03:40:31 PM
I know MoTD messed it up but how many times have we scored 6 at home in the league?

I can remember:

6-1 vs Sunderland 2013
6-2 vs Everton 1989

Anymore?? Without having to trawl 11vs11

Does it have to be specifically 6 or can we have seven too?

I was thinking more 6 (we beat liverpool (obviously) and wimbledon in 96ish 7-1. But we were chatting in the pub post match and couldn’t think of many 6s.

Notts County away FA Cup 1982. Dave Geddis hat-trick. Great day out. Then lost1 0 in the league there the following week

A couple of classics:

6-4 v Blackburn in League Cup semi 2010
6-2 v Everton 1989
Title: Re: 6 (six)
Post by: Yeltzbagger on October 01, 2023, 04:25:04 PM
Another favourite. 6 0 away at Oldham Div 3 1971. I seem to remember a Bruce Rioch free kick.

Yes..very strange, especially in the days when resting players wasn't really a thing; John Chiedozie I think.

Thought of another one although not in the league...8-1 v Exeter in the league cup in the 80s
Title: Re: 6 (six)
Post by: PeterWithesShin on October 01, 2023, 04:29:41 PM
We stuck 8 past Exeter but it was a cup game so doesn't answer the OP. It was at home at least.

Sorry. Just realised it had to be home in the league. It's years since I last posted. I'd better give up again!

It's all good, it was just a gentle leg pull. Always good to remember big Villa wins, regardless of competition or venue.

8-3  at Wycombe 2005. Was the anniversary earlier in the week, the official site posted the goals.

Think Lockhead scored three up at Oldham. Possibly the coldest ground in England.

Post by: PeterWithesShin on October 01, 2023, 04:44:30 PM
There'll be a fair few from back in the day, but in my life, 1970 onwards, at home in the league i'm struggling to think of any besides Brighton, Sunderland, Everton and Ipswich.

6-0 v Port Vale in the FA Cup 4th round January 1990.

Post by: Yeltzbagger on October 01, 2023, 05:16:09 PM
I know it's not 6 and a couple of years before I first went, but my dad's favourite was 11-1 against Charlton in 1959 when Gerry Hitchens scored 5. My dad idolised Gerry.
Title: Re: 6 (six)
Post by: London Villan on October 01, 2023, 05:20:53 PM
We were stumped chatting about it yesterday. Scoring 6 isnt that uncommon, so the fact we’ve only done it 5 or 6 times, in the league, in the last 60 years, makes yesterday more special.

There's the 7-1 v Wimbledon in February 1995 as well.

Yeah, October or November 1971. I went on one of the old special trains that British Rail used to put on - £1 return. Got soaked as it pissed down all afternoon when it had been sunny and blue skies when we left New Street.

Was 6-0 - Lochhead 3, Rioch 2 and Anderson.

And the 6-1 at Crewe in August 2019 as well as 6-0 at Barrow in August 2021 both in the League Cup.

We beat Hull 6-0 at home in one of Ron Saunders first home games, a Wednesday night in the school holidays 1974.

Jimmy Cumbes debut if memory serves, the weather was awful and so were Oldham

First league win under Mr Saunders, in front of a crowd of less than 19,000.

I was 14, went with my older brother who wouldn't have long passed his driving test. He must have driven back like a lunatic as we were back in brum about 6.15 to get the Argus.

6-1 Ipswich 1978

7 v Wimbledon and Liverpool,

I remember that Ipswich game. It was the week before they beat Arsenal in the FA Cup final and they didn't seem too bothered by the match

Yes.  I remember Mica Ron scored one of them and the look of absolute surprise on Agbonlahor's face when he did it.

No that was QPR at home. His Sunderland hat trick was a headed rebound from an Agbonlahor  shot, a header from one of those Westwood floaty corners (he seemed to be above the goal when he headed it) and a through the goalies legs from an acute angle to round it off.

That's really well remembered! I remember the rebound header from Agbonlahor's shot.

Didn't the old football specials go from Moor Street?
O r perhaps only some of them...I have recollections of having to run from one station to the other when they would change departure times and stations with little notice.

Have to disagree, Nick.

I recall it as a brace each for Graydon, Brian Little and 'Chico' Hamilton.
