Top Five Away Days

[Ormy Droid]

I'm sure this must have been done before by someone, but hey ho...

5 - Swindon 0 Aston Villa 0 1988 (I'm an atheist myself, but somebody was smiling down upon us that day)

4 - Man Utd 1 Aston Villa 1 - 1988 (Villa were back, Sid was back, Alan McInally wasn't a pompous fool on Sky Sports)

3 - Bradford City 2 Aston Villa 4 - 1987 (Stuart and Andy Gray made their debuts, Stuart running the show and doing a personable impression of Glenn Hoddle, he never ever got anywhere near that good ever again)

2 - Liverpool 3 Aston Villa 3 - 1986 (MacNeill's first game in charge. We'd just been thrashed by six at Forest, they were fresh off a ten goal hammering of Fulham. We were always ahead, Steve MacMahon 25 yard screamer finally levelled a pulsating game. Special mention to Merseyside Police who didn't seem to mind how many times you said 'jammy scouse fucking bastard!')

1 - Birmingham City 1 Aston Villa 2 - 1987 (Bruno's bullet header, revenge after the two previous home games against them - both of which would easily make my top five worst home games, and best of all going mental on the Tilton, the best away end of all to sing Jingle Bells in the run up to Xmas, thanks Santa!)

I'm racking my brain but don't think that I ever saw Villa win away.

Everton away and Spudz away in 1989-90.........plus Big Ron's first game at Sheffield Wednesday

[ADVILLAFAN]

Wolves 0 - 4 Villa (2003/04) - And they missed a penalty too. Some Wolves' fans hadn't got tickets and were looking through a gap between the stands. We were handily informing them every time we scored

Wolves 2 - 3 Villa (about 2011) - We were rubbish in the first half and then Robbie Keane brought us to life in the second half (I quite liked the late winner Heskey got there too, we always win at Molineux)

Everton 0 - 1 Villa (1999/2000) - I think Carbone got sent off, but this game got us into the FA Cup Semi-Final. Their fans were not gracious in defeat

Liverpool 0 - 1 Villa (2014/15) - Only been there once, Anfield is crap and their fans didn't make a peep after we scored with 10 minutes gone

Reading 2 - 4 Villa (2009/10) - 2-0 down in the FA Cup Quarter-Final at half-time and their fans were singing "you might as well go home". We were brilliant in the 2nd half crushing them and guess what we sang to their fans?....

The last Villa match at The Dell was some great atmosphere despite the loss - crammed into the corner next to that crazy triangular terrace.

[Des Little]

There are loads.  In addition to those already mentioned:

Spurs away - LC Quarter Final 1994, pissing down
Spurs away, Nov 94 - Jim Barron's CV in its entirity
Arse away, Aug 87 - 3-2 win
Arse away - Chris Price's magic monent
Arse away two seasons ago

....fcuk it this could take forever

[Lsvilla]

Forest Away - Franz Carr's winner - first QF win i'd seen. Lock in at a boozer in Kegworth on the way back. Happy days.

[PGW]

It could take forever butr mine:
Bolton 3-2 Villa Nov 67 simply because it was my first away game
Bilbao 2 v 2 Villa 76 first european away day
Blackpool 0-3 Villa 75 - we all thought, mistakenly that we had gained promotion that day
Sheff Wed 1-4 Villa  75 when we did get promotion
QPR 0-3 Villa 77 at Highbury Little hat trick

[silhillvilla]

Bradford 2-4 Villa 87? Superb day
Everton 3-3 Villa my ears are still ringing
Sha 1-2 Villa crush outside and Bruno getting the winner. Class 1987
Spurs 3-4 90's Villa a simply incredible game
Sunderland 0-4 villa hilarious day

[dave shelley]

Spurs 0-1 1966 ish, we were shit then.  Lew Chatterley winner.

Palace 0-1 1967       we were shit then.  Brian Godfrey IIRC.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-4 1975 we were no longer shit then.

Arsenal 2-0 1981       enough said.

Saving the best 'til last although technically not an away game but, ROTTERDAM!

Everton 3 Villa 3
Everton 2 Villa 3

[levico]

Newcastle 0 Villa 3

Can't remember the year but I remember Newcastle players fighting between themselves and at least 80% of their fans leaving before the end.

[dave.woodhall]

Everton 1990. The best ever.
Plymouth 1987. One of those trips where everything went right, from the train times to the result.
Forest 1989. The day H&V took off.
Southampton 1987. So bad it was brilliant.
Sheffield United 2011. Poured onto the last train - the eighties revisited.

Sheff Wed 91 - Big Ron's Return
Sheff Wed 92 - Dalian's stunners
Man Utd 89 or 90 - Ormondroyd's equaliser
Spuds CC Cup QF 94 - pissing down rain
Arsenal 91 - Platt in goal, utter shit, but amusing
Forest 93 - The Lord descended from the clouds

[silhillvilla]

I'd love to have seen the Rain Man goal, sadly I missed that one
