Not at Villa Park but I'll always remember a rousing chorus of ' No heart, Souness has got no heart' at Anfield just after he had a bypass operation!. Cruel but funny.

I remember as a kid when we played Man. City, chants to Asa Hartford - 'there's a hole in your heart dear Asa, dear Asa' to the tune of 'there's a hole in your bucket'.

Amusing now, but not at the time.

Not sure who it was against, but we were losing at home.

Right near the end, George 'the leg-end' Boateng attempted to cross the ball, but as he swung his leg, his left foot hit the ball and it went out for a goal-kick, with Boateng falling to the floor.

Just about summed up the performance of the team that day.

Keith Curle's 'deliberate' handball to give us a penalty against Citeh when we were going for the title with Manure.  In the same match, Citeh fans (who were decent in them days) having a banner with 'Good luck Villa from the City of Manchester'.

A nothing league game at home to Derby late 80s~early 90s.  I just remember the most amazing scramble in the box.  About 15 players trying to get the ball on the penalty spot on a really muddy pitch.  Eventually it somehow bounced to someone ~ who rammed it home to give us a 3~2 win.

Not funny at the time but funny in hindsight Les Sealey chasing George Courtney halfway up the pitch after spilling Nigel Jemsons header over the line against Wednesday.

God's scrap against Stuart Ripley in the Simod Cup.

Kevin Richardsons fantastic 'setup' of the odious Paul Tait to get him sent off against SHA in the League Cup.

I remember this really well as it was 1991 and Tony Cascarino that scored.  We were standing in an unusual position for us, Lower Holte at the side where it met the Trinitry Road, and we all just fell about laughing.  It was like something from an under 10's match.

I was listening to that match on BRMB and George Gavin mentioned that he had been speaking to Curle before the match and he "joked" to George that if Villa need a goal, just knock it in my direction. A few minutes later the hand ball was given.

At the Newcastle home game this season, when Paul McGrath was on the pitch at half time, there was an announcement in the second half for "Geordie McGrath" to contact a steward  ;D Made me chuckle...

More 'not at VP'

The pantomime horse getting arrested at Anfield.
Elvis Presley at Leeds.
Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden at Middlesbrough. The police tried to throw Hitler out at half time, but told Bin Laden he was OK.

"You ain't nothing but a bluenose, crying all the time" I seem to remember was Elvis's song.

I also remember scooby doo being chased around the Anfield away end by Liverpool stewards to chants of "You'll never take our scooby"

I can remember a game about 64/65 against Man City when the fog came down heavily. In fact the ref abandoned the game.
But Ken Mulherne Citys goalie wasnt aware of what the ref was doing and neither were we in the Holte as the fog was so thick

It took five minutes for everything to be sorted out!

Directed at Newcastle fans massed in the old Witton End and totally exposed to relentless,  freezing sleet and to the tune of "Those Were The Days":

"We hope your foreskins shrink".

I remember, that followed by - "we hope you f****g drown!"

Didn't we play them one Christmas late 70's and the fog came down so we couldn't see the Witton from the Holte?
Won 2-1 I think - I had food poisoning that night - bastard Geordies.

Can't remember the game but circa 2005, Ridgewell got the ball twatted in his face 3 times in the same goal mouth scramble.

Had me and my mate in stitches, I suppose it's the little things...

I once punched my mate in the jaw during a celebration of an Ian Olny goal. One minute he was there the next he was flat on his back.

Made me laugh till it hurt!
