When We Were Good.

My best period of watching Villa.  Simply loved our style of play in them days.  Listen to the fawning of the MOTD pundits as well.

That's probably my favourite Villa goal.

What a marvellous side we were back then.

Bloody hell we were relentless - streaming forward, running with the ball. Oh for Deano and Yorke again.  How good was Woods that day to keep it below 6!

Great find - thanks.

Bloody marvelous. Thanks Kippaxvilla, great memories. Maybe we'll see football like that again.

You do have to feel for Chris Woods. First Shilton then Seaman being around to stop a very long career as the nations number 1.

The two goals against Ipswich for two totally different reasons are mine. Well at VP anyway.

And a snippet right at the start of this montage of my favourite away day in the history of mankind.  I don't think he I ever felt as happy at the end of a game.

I was 13-14 during this season and I'd started to stand on the Holte with mates rather than my Grandad for the first time. I just remember going to school most Mondays feeling immensely proud in my Villa drill top after another performance of the highest quality.
