An extremely rare goal from Charlie Aitken, what a run.
A sublime piece of ball control by Brian Little on, around, 3:20

I enjoyed that.  Villa conceding on the stroke of half-time though?  Some things never change....

[steamer]

I think I was at that game, going to have a mooch through my programs to check.
What a kit !!
Had to chuckle as we scored our first, you heard the Forest fans singing, AG,AGRO, AGGRO.
Always a difficult place to visit.

What a brilliant find The Doc, never seen this before.

[Godfrey Brian]

Always great to see a Charlie Aitken goal.Great ball in from Nicholls though.Plus another rarity leading to their goal-an Ian Ross defensive error.

Great find.

[Sunny Villa]

This was when the Villa fan went for a swim in the Trent courtesy of a few  forest fans

Anyone else notice that Charlie scored with his right foot?

[richard moore]

Villa one nothing, Hugh Johns. The stuff of memories...

[The Left Side]

Love the kit

[Dr Butler]

yeah and loved the shot of Charlie starting his run(in the background) for the through ball from Chris Nicholl...

That Charlie Aitken goal was quite something - you couldn't quite say that he ghosted into a goalscoring position!

Good post.

Ian Ross, not Neil Rioch, though.

i thought the score was 2-2
maybe it was the season after
anyway i was there ,(or maybe not) as a young teenager
come out the ground , it was going off ,,forest everywhere
i got chased  through peoples back gardens
one got thrown off the bridge into the river
  only just made the special back to new st
