WBA 0-2 Aston Villa 1990 FA Cup match footage and goals

It took Daley another year to make the England squad if i remember - and guess who was boss at the time? Sir Graham gave him a chance. Would have been interesting to see how Daley would have got on in Italy if Robson had taken him - i would say our Tone was at his peak between 89-92 and as frustrating as he could be, there wasnt another winger in the country that was as exciting as Tony when he was on his game.   

He made a squad pre Italia 90,but never played. He's in the video for World in motion if you look carefully!

Couldn't get a ticket for this so I watched it at a screening at the Aston Villa leisure centre. It was bedlam when Daley scored the 2nd.

I'm shocked by the lack of brainless comments at the bottom.  Something along the lines of "Wot a wun-soydid geyim.  Wim wud av wun if wid ad Superbob then"

I was at the game and remember a startling amount of detail. The fact that Mountfield was 25/1 for the opener (George Gavin had been on about it on the radio the night before), how much of the game Albion actually had, the fact the pitch was a mess and that it was a lunchtime kick-off.

Also that is hammered it down not long after the final whistle. Had it been a regular (for the time) 3pm start it might have been a different game.

This was one of my favourite away games. I remember the early kick off, balloons in the away end, the monsoons hitting Handsworth as we were travelling through on the way home and the fact we were looking good for the double.

[Richie]

Vividly remember Little Tones goal down our end in the last minute to finish them off.

The whole end going barmy and Villa looking good for the double.

Hard to believe that this was the season after we stayed up after we had played our last match thanks to Liverpool giving the Hammers a good hiding and sending them down instead.

Fookin 'ell, it's like watching ITV's FA Cup coverage.
Here in Spain some of the terrestrial channels, who don't have rights to live games or highlights packages, often show the goals from games on their Sports News slot with similarly-positioned cameras.

A highlight of a great season - a match I was really pleased to have got tickets for.

I can remember shouting as Daley received the ball, "Go on, Tone. Finish 'em off!" I like a good 'un, he did.

Great celebrations.  If only we'd known that Boundary Park plastic pitch awaited...

[LeeB]

Early kick off, at the back on the bend if memory serves me and my first trip to that shit tip.

Classic Daley goal to wrap up a fairly comfortable win, and was it the following Wednesday we went to Spurs and went top, 2-0? Great days.

[LeeB]

To quote Dave's editorial in the following fanzine, "Villa woz lucky, loike" and "Villa 'ay a team", on the way back to the car from all the throwbacks.

[russon]

Surprised at how many Villa fans seem to be in the Albion end for the first goal.

I was one of them. Had a Villa scarf tied around my midriff under my coat, couldn't stand in the WBA home end without something. I got tumbled when I discreetly (!) celebrated the 2nd goal and left the ground sharpish

[PeterWithe]

I couldn't get a ticket for this one until I was having a piss in a pub the night before and a bloke stood next to me was talking to his mate about a spare ticket he had, I bought it off him and he even arranged a lift, I'd never seen him before and haven't seen him since.

[The Left Side]

Quality stories from this game, Kent Neilsen broke Gary Robson's leg as well... I don't think he played much after that. What a team we had back then, how things might have been different if doug had bought Sheringham instead of Cascarino?

[willywombat]

This one sticks in my memory as I had to work and was listening to score flashes on the radio when 2 Police officers came in and arrested one of my colleagues for allegedly sexually assaulting a customer. I was gutted as I was just about to leave and would have made the end of the first half and all of the 2nd, as it was I had to cover for the fecking perv. Wolves fan as well

[Kingthing]

I remember the baggies fans trying to take the piss out of Spink by chanting (in a girly voice) "Nigel Nigel Nigel" only for the whole away end to chant back "Stacey Stacey Stacey"
