What's You're Favourite Ever Villa Game?

[TaxDodger]

5-1 for me. Closely followed by Everton away in 08/09.

[Flamingo Lane]

So many to choose from, but to pick one it would be beating West Brom 3-1 at VP in the promotion season of 74-75.  Living in Oldbury with loads of horrible Albion fans as "mates" was grim for many years, and that was the game when I saw us beat the bastards for the first time, and the day we could all see that promotion back to the first Division was likely to be ours.

And all three goals at the Holte End in fairly quick succession having been 1-0 down at half time.

6-2 against Everton in 89/90 was a pearler as was the 3-1 and 5-1 against the Blues but my all time fave league game was 4-2 against Liverpool in 92.Saunders brace and Rosenthal's miss.Great memories.

I posted my favourite game earlier but my favourite 45 mins was the 5-1 vrs Liverpool.
In the 2nd half Liverpool just set out to stop us scoring more rather than get back into the game, so it was a pretty boring half.

tranmere - the holte's last great stand

rosenthal was on radio 5 yesterday talking about that.  i cannot believe it was nearly 20 years ago!!

I wonder how many of us actually saw Rosenthal's miss first hand? I remember him rounding Spink and a groan went round Villa Park, then the sweet sound of the crossbar rattling as I looked back up.Superb.

Tranmere. That night rocked in the Holte. The Liverpool 5-1. Also a vague memory of a game against Sunderland in the 70's when I was a kid...being on the north bank...getting passed down the front by the Makems...very old skool.

Quite a few, i'd have thought.  Full house that day I imagine and it wasn't that long ago.  Was sat in the Enclosure with my Dad.  Never heard so much laughter in a football ground as then, brilliant game too.

Another vote for Tranmere for me.  Nothing will ever top that, unless we ever win the league in the same way Arsenal did in '89.

I have some great memories that will keep me warm in old age but aside from the big cup finals and semis, local derbies, clinching the League at Highbury my addition to this thread would be the 4-2 at Leicester when we won the league. A large and incredibly vocal Villa following who were really up for it - I think every player got a song or chant before kick off - a cracking see saw game and the Albion beat Ipswich 3-1 to help us out.

There wasa great atmosphere on the special back to New St too, and we sank a good many beers in the Boars Head afterwards, where I think Bucks Fizz won the Eurovision to much mirth in the bar. One of my mates won a few quid on the Grand National as well (I think it was the Bob Champion year). Just one of those days where you feel invincible in every part of your life, except for hangovers....

I also remember that 4-2 v Leicester very well.  I was at University at Leicester at the time and lived around the corner from Filbert Street.  The family came for the day and, of course, the match.

Tranmere - singin ''and we're all pissed up and we're [finally] going to wemberlee'' with tears in the eyes

For me nothing will ever surpass the 1970 semi final at Villa Park.
We would need to get relegated twice before we could even start thinking about a repeat.

[Holte L2]

Tranmere at home.
All of the UEFA Cup 97/98 games.
Man Utd and Leeds at Wembley.
Portsmouth League Cup Quarter Final 09
Man Utd and Liverpool away 09/10
Blackburn League Cup Semi Final 09/10 remains my favourite though!

[Broughty-Villian]

villa 5-1 Liverpool
villa 2-2 Barcalona
Villa 2-0 Inter (Kent's goal)
everton 2-3 Villa
rotterdam, and OT '77 and Wembley twice in the 90's
Villa 3-2 Cov.
for some reason beating the Dons 7-1 after they had a cracking start to the season and we looked particularly average.
