Is no one going to mention 20 years ago today then?

One of the great Villa Park occasions. The first trophy of my Villa watching career. Just an incredible game. Will still be talked about in 100 years even after those of us who were there have gone.

We go on about the 6-4 Blackburn game but it doesn't hold a candle to the sheer emotions of Tranmere. Ok there were ten goals but the tension for me was never there unlike the Tranmere game. Ok it looked dicey when Blackburn went 2-0 up but even then we raced back into it pretty non fazed. Tranmere is THE epic Villa game of the last twenty five years at least.

I went with my lad who was only a nipper at the time and we were chatting about it a couple of days ago and he remembers it in so much detail, it's one of those great father/son memories and pretty much the only one he can recall in any detail of us standing at Villa Park.

He could talk through all the goals, how I left him with my mate's missus while we went for a slash but came back smelling of beer but most of all just how loud it was.

He also mentioned about when we were in the car after and sat in traffic and everyone sounding their horns and him climbing across and him banging away on ours (it was a knackered old Metro, surprised it didn't fall apart) and then hanging his scarf out of the window all the way home. He got the bug that day.

There is definitely something about trying to overcome a deficit in a second leg game. Especially when it is nail biting because you leave it so late. Probably the only subject on which you would compare Barcelona and Tranmere.

I've seen all the big games at Villa Park from the start of the seventies to date but this game against little Tranmere was the most emotionally drained I've been at a football match and the most incredible atmosphere I've ever been in. I think it was a case that we'd been so starved of success since the European Cup win that we were all ravenous to get through to Wembley.

Richardson's penalty bounced past us sitting in row three upstairs in the North Stand! Que Serra Serra still takes me back to the immediate post match celebrations that Sunday night. It was a masterstroke to repeat it immediately after the Blackburn semi 16 years later (wonder what they had lined up had we lost)

My best day supporting the Villa, just a complete roller coaster of emotion.  The atmosphere in the ground beforehand was of trepidation and the crowd being really unsure of what we could do and the first 20 minutes before we scored, we were abysmal, Aldridge should have scored about twice.  Then we scored and the place went into meltdown for the next couple of hours.  Without doubt the Holte Ends last great stand.

My last home game before moving to the states. What a way to bid farewell to Villa Park.

[Fuse]

Greatest game ever for me. I know there have been bigger games but this is still the most memorable game in my 37 years supporting Villa. As others have said the sheer range of emotion and excitement have not been reached since.

I can only think it could be bettered if we had a Michael Thomas/Sergio Aguero moment to win the title against all odds and the chanes of that happenign are vitually zilch.

I feel blessed to have been there to witness it.
