Villa at Goodison

[wittonwarrior]

1976/7 in August. Villa won 2-0, great display. I was sat in the Upper Bullens and several hundred Villa fans were led out of the Park End of the ground by the police with about 10 minutes to go. Never seen that before or since - maybe for their own protection.

this really is one of them wish I was there games. First  away victory back in Div 1 (took us over a season but nevermind).  I had an altercation at Maine  Road  a few  days before when I got battered and my mum barred me from going.

I was there . There was some Everton in the end early on and Villa chased them on the pitch .

By 3 pm we were totally surrounded with the scousers here Scousers there chant and Villa where are you .Any Villa identified was given a right kicking  when the 2nd goal went it it was murders and loads left .

The Cup game we had barely 400 there due to the fixture change and a rail strike we would have been clattered only for the old lads coming up on a coach .
The league cup game when Richardson scores was pure evil

I've been to Goodison twice and saw two last minute winners.  Merson 1-0 in 2001 and Young 3-2 in 2008.

Great memories of Goodison in general. Funny what you remember and what you forget. I was there when Fashanu played where I think for some reason the away section was split in two? Am I right? I also remember Mo bloody Johnstone scoring against us. Typical when someone cant score against anyone he scores against us.

Mersons Lob, the 2 v 0 under Big Ron, plus others. My favourite away ground by far, despite the fact the escalators never seemed to work when I was sat upstairs and its so steep celebrating a goal properly is a hazard!
