What's You're Favourite Ever Villa Game?

[Lambert and Payne]

What's you're favourite ever Villa game? For whatever reason, good personal memory, great result or a moment of brilliance. Personally mine is the 3 1 win over small heath, beating them for the 1st time at VP in the premier league. And it was the 1st time I witnessed us beating them. The relief that we were going to stay up and sending them down along the way was brilliant. Particuarly after such a miserable season. Gary Cahills goal, is also my favourite ever moment so far

The 2-4 at Reading, went with my best mate and it was her first away game, the whole day was excellent and the match was a complete roller coaster.

Bradford away in 87.Bonkers game from start to finish.

Tough question, There are loads.
Villa 3 Everton 2 League Cup final at Old Trafford.
Villa 2 Sunderland 0. 1975 promotion year. 56,000
Norwich 0 Villa 4. Final game of 1975 promotion year. We'd beat them in the League Cup final but destroyed them at Carrow Road. Took around 10,000 to a night game, seemed a lot more. Made sweeter for me as their fans were chucking Potatoe sized stones at us and I copped a baker in the neck.
Villa 2 Bournmouth 1. 1971 promotion from Div 3. 48,500 for a 3rd division game.

I'll have to go for Villa 2 Man Utd 1 League Cup semi final 1971. 61,000

Tranmere home. And not just because of the actual game.

Madrid away always brings back a few memories as well.

The 15 minute period in the second half when the Champions of Europe outplayed a Juventus side containing half the previous year's World Cup winners and arguably two of the best midfielders in the world.

Tranmere at home

League wise there are too many to mention.

[darren woolley]

I would have to say Tranmere at home and Inter Milan at home first time around.

Hard to select a home game but best ever away was 1980 at St Andrews when Alan Evans scored the winner right in front of where I was stood, downside I was in the Blose end as our end was sold out!!

The abuse I took (even as a 14 year old), though me and mate managed to scuttle off and stand somewhere else for the remainder of the game, one of the big advantages of terraces over the modern all seater stadiums.  Though that was the last time I ever watched a game with rival fans.

The European cup final, beating the Blues on Easter Monday '83 after they had embarassed us on Boxing Day, Albion away in the league cup '83, Bradford '87, Swindon '88, White Hart Lane 1990 when I felt we were going to win the league, Goodison Park 1990, Inter Milan under Dr Jo, Sheff Wed on BFR's return, beating Man U at Wembley in '94. But six nil versus Blues on my eighteenth birthday takes some beating, even if it was only the simod cup.

Another vote for Tranmere from me!

Derby 3-4 Villa. Midweek FA Cup 4th round, Shilton saving 2 penalties, Yorke hat trick (I think) and Darius Kubicki getting sent off, loads of Villa packed into a good old fashioned cramped venue under floodlights.

Magic.

Loads of big away followings and wins when we were in old Div 3. We used to take over whole towns such as Bradford, Oldham and Rotherham and easily double their average gates. Loved those days in some ways.

Best ever - League Cup semi: Villa 2 M Utd 1.
Went with my best mate Dave, massive crowd, just the right age 16, to be dreamily hopeful and excited before, during and after the game. Warm glow and goosebumps thinking about it now. (Or is that the incontinence?)

I'm with you on this one.
I was buzzing for hours after leaving Villa Park that day.
A fantastic day indeed.

Tranmere at home, it was just an amazing occassion, the atmosphere was something else.
