Deannnnnnnno!

Best Villa goal. Ever. Most important for me was Dalian vs Tranmere - both of the them! But this is the best.

Surely Atkinson at Wimbledon topped that? Not complaining about that one, mind.

Was right in line with that in the Upper Trinity with my Dad.  The ball went out of sight for a second because of the roof and then just dropped down into the goal, I can still see it now.

The angle on that video isn't right, I remember him shooting from just outside our penalty box  ;)

We scored so many great goals that season.

I was sat in the Witton Lane Stand bang on the half way line.  It's a goal I'll never forget.  Our first in that game was also a cracker. Lovely weighted pass from Parker to Staunton.  Big floating cross to Dwight Yorke.

I do think if we hadn't rushed Dalian back we'd have won the league.  Don't know why Big Ron didn't rate Yorke as a striker.  He played him up front with Regis in 1991-1992 and with Saunders in 1992-1993 and always delivered.

I've posted something similar before, Yorke should have kept his place with Deano. He was such an intelligent natural talent he could have played with anyone. Wish Sir Brian wouldn't have tried to fit Savo,Collymore and Yorke in together. Yorke could have struck up a great partnership with Collymore and who knows what could have happened.

Yeah definitely.  Saying that Stanley Victor was probably battling with depression when he signed for us. 
In hindsight we should never have signed Stan.  Even though he was the player we all wanted.  Wouldn't it be lovely if we could time travel and go back to the summer of 1997 and start again.

Yorkie would be getting a new five year year deal, and I'd have signed that Thierry Henry lad to play alongside him.

I think it just came down to the fact that Yorke wasn't a Big Ron signing didn't it?

Strange really because Yorke scored a lot of goals for BFR the season before. I think its because Dalian's goal output had been so high before his injury BFR probably thought he'd pick it up right away upon his return. He never did and I don't know why BFR couldnt see it wasn't working - and that was in addition to Dean Saunders having a goal drought during the run-in. Yorkie was the only regular goalscorer from about February onwards yet BFR dropped him.Cost us big time at the end of that season.

Dwight Yorke lodged with a couple next door to my aunt and uncle in Coleshill and was good friends with my cousin around that time. She reckoned he couldn't stand BFR and was always moaning about him.

I wish we could travel back to the summer of 1995 and sign Dion Dublin then instead of Savo.

I wish I could travel back to the summer of 1995 and not ask a total mentallist called Marie to move over to Tenerife and live with me.

Sound like bad times.  Back to Deano - why did Big Ron always pronounce his surname as 'Sanders'?
