That miss...

[TopDeck113]

Poor Ronnie Rosenthal.  Nearly 20 years on and he is wheeled out to try and make Rob Earnshaw feel better.  Fair play to him.

For our younger readers...

One of the great games of a memorable season. Deano's debut and two goals against his former club in a 4-2 win.  Happy days.

That was unbelivable. I was stood on the Holte that day and when he took round spinky I just put me head down. Next thing I knew everyone was cheering and laughing I looked up and saw the game continuing, could not believe how he could miss it. As much as I wanted to watch the highlights on MOTD for our win I couldn't wait to see the replay of that miss.

The interviewer Phil Williams is a Villa fan too.

Earnshaw's will be a distant memory in a few years...Rosenthals's will live on forever.

[Deano's Mullet]

was right behind him, North Stand Upper. Happened so quickly you couldnt quite believe what had happened. Fantastic game.

[The Left Side]

I never get tired of that clip!

[Charlie8182]

To me, it was Karma for his outrageous dive which won them a penalty at Anfield the season before and somehow conned the ref.  Anyone who was there should remember it.

I can tell my grandkids that i was on the Holte when he did that howler. I didnt see it though as i turned to my brother and said shit when he took the Teale back pass.

[greenwichvilla]

That's what we should call it from now on.

The Holte End Howler.

[NeilH]

Aaaaahhh now that's a memory. I think I was still laughing when I got off the number 33 bus outside the Co-op garage on the Kingstanding Rd that afternoon.

[Karlos96]

That will always be the greatest miss.  I'm still amazed every time I watch it and I love everyone's reaction on the Holte, never get tired of watching it.

[cheltenhamlion]

I don't think I have ever seen 20,000 people piss themselves laughing and dish out wanker signs in quite the way the Holte did that day.

[darren woolley]

What a miss I was in the Holte End and I couldn't believe it you are right Cheltenhamlion I just pissed myself laughing.

That was the funny thing, it wasn't so much howls of derision as gales of laughter

[ADVILLAFAN]

Didn't we do the double over Liverpool that year? If so, I think it was the last time we did.

[cheltenhamlion]

We beat them 2-1 at Anfield. I was at both games.
