What's You're Favourite Ever Villa Game?

[E I Adio]

Villa 2 Man UTD 1 November 1966. Incredible win, how Villa won I'll never know. Shut thier arrogant fans up though.

That must have been the game where it was pretty much "shots in" for ManU for about 89 minutes, then I think it was  Lew Chatterley - a centre half, filling in at centre forward, who totally against the run of play amazingly managed to break away and score the winner. My recollection is that ManU were so comfortably camped out in our penalty area that they presumed we were not capable of scoring, which, to be fair, neither did I.

As for my favourite game though, it has to be that other one at Villa Park against ManU, in 1970.

For a sequence of tremedous matches the 1977 Cup run takes some beating but I rmember the semi finals (all three of them!) against QPR as a 17-year old.



The final and the 1st replay were turgid affairs in my recollection. With you all the way on the semis though, fantastic memories!

League Cup semi-final 71.
16 years old, loving it and still get goosebumps.

Also the Everton League Cup Final ... winning at third attempt. Brian Little and Chris Nicholl.
Wonderful memories!

I would go with those two, plus

Villa 5 Liverpool 1, and an honourable mention for

Villa v Bournemouth in the Third Division.

On a more personal note, also have fond  memories of Fulham-Villa about 6 years back. First game I took MV Junior to- Craven Cottage, evening game, Christmas holidays, Met up with family travelling down, 3-3 scoreline. Pretty good introduction to being a Villa fan.

Rotterdam, 26/5/82 for sure. Also the 5-1 Liverpool game, best 45 minutes have ever seen from a Villa team. Arsenal away in 1980/81 when we lost 2-0, the feeling on the terraces when news of Jankovic scoring those two goals was amazing and never to be forgotten

Arsenal 2-2 in LC 1996.
2-1 Athletic Madrid 1998, great save stopped us going through.
3-2 Leeds, Carboni!
5-1 blose

Yeah one that sticks in that mind was the Leeds 3-2 cup game in 2000, Merson splitting his head in two setting up a goal and Carbone scoring from near the Witton corner flag. Brilliant game and I thought we'd reach the final after that, wish we hadn't.

More recent one would be the 0-2 win at Arsenal in 2008. Completely played them off the pitch that day, it really could've been 4 or 5. Thought we would finish top 4 and above Arsenal after watching that.

Last season's win there was fun aswell but a sidenote.

I'd have to say the Tranmere game too. Still can see Atkinson's late header taking it to extra time.

Can I count a TV game? If so, Villa 6 Everton 2 in 88 or 89.

And one I was gutted to not see, but have seen highlights on YouTube is when we beat Cov 3-0 away, Savo scoring two.
