Which goal did you and The Villa celebrate most memorably?
« on: January 20, 2011, 02:48:47 PM »
Which one stands out for you?

Rotterdam? for obvious reasons

Bosko? Likewise

Our third at Hillsboro 91?

Our first at Wembley 94?

Phil King?

For me; Dalian's header to force extra time against Tranmere tops every goal celebration I've ever been a part of.

Perhaps not an obvious one but the goal I remember going most mental at was our second in the first leg of the semi against Bolton in 2004. Pulled it back to 3-2 having looked like we'd blown it first half. We  went on to blow it all over again not long afterwards of course.

ps got a few funny looks in the pub with my celebration of Clark's equaliser at Stamford Bridge the other week but not being there doesn't count I guess

SVC's rocket against Athletico Madrid.

Merson's winner against Coventry to send them down.

Cahill's volley aginst the Blues, not just because of who they were but the fear that if we'd lost that game we were likely to go down.

In recent times, Ashley's goal at Goodison and Petrov's late equaliser at Palace last season.  I went bloody mental when that went in.

Most ever, probably the third goal against Tranmere.  Had never seen the Holte go as barmy as that before.

Chris Price at Arsenal - topical too.

Me and my mates danced for 10 minutes with amazement. We'd been under the cosh the whole game.

Err... as I recall, it was the game where we were neck-and-neck with Manure and despite City fans wanting us to win, we were doing our best to throw away the points.

We got a pen - I think Keith Curle tried to catch the ball in his own box. Parker took the kick, I couldn't watch, in fact I turned my back on it because I knew I could see the result on everyone else's face.

It went mental, even the City fans celebrated.

Probably the aforementioned Atkinsons against Tranmere but also Milners penalty against SHA and also Platts header against Bradford in 1987.

Gabby's last-min goal in that 2-0 win at Blackburn a couple of seasons back. They celebrated right in front of us. We were on that long unbeaten run and we just looked invincible. When we secured those points I was so convinced we were going to kick on to great things.



What followed was CSKA, Stoke and the beginning of the end of MON.

I think for that moment the whole of the Holte believed we were going to be champions. Unique in my experience.
