My 40th was 1st December 2010 - Doh!

I'm November 30th and the game that sticks out for me was Villa 0 Arsenal 4 in 1986-87, shudder!

I've got the same birthday as William McGregor!  Does that count? (13th April)

Anyway, whilst trawling for a match on the date in question, this came up.

This slideshow reminded me of some cracking players and a fantastic club.

28th May so invariably the seasons over and no games, though I'm led to believe there was a game on 26th May one year so nearly.

27th May 1957.

We won the Cup 23 days before I popped into the world. I'd like to see us win it before I leave.

I remember beating Arsenal the day before mine a few years back.

I was certain we'd lose until Gabby got our second.

Anyone who was at the Moscow home match two seasons ago has a flag with my birthday printed on it, February 18th. 1-1 on the night. We all know what happened next.

Otherwise, when Villa have played on that date since I was born:

1-1 away at Arsenal in 1984;
2-1 win away at Sheffield Wednesday in 1995;
0-2 home defeat to Manchester United in 1998.

My birthday usually clashes with FA Cup 5th round weekend, so we hardly ever have a game these days :(
