Andy Lochhead Footage

[Godfrey Brian]

Absolute workhorse up front for us . The immediate memory which came to mind was an August game against Plymouth peering through a forest of players legs to see Andy emerge rocketing through the boots and knees horizontal to the ground for a diving header.It missed  but he was such a brave player.

His reception against Oldham was something to behold - it was like a family member returning. Oh, and my favorite Lochhead song was "We've got baldy, cock-eyed Andy in the air, in the air........."

My first Villa favourite

[DesBremner]

My favourite story from my Dad was Andy claiming a throw in for Villa and that he never touched the ball and when he turned round there was a mud imprint of the ball on his head.....

That 2nd goal against Bournemouth - what a sight that Holte end was. And such a lovely pitch to play on!

"6ft 2, with eyes of blue, Andy Lochhead is coming for you"
Players were real men in them days

wonderful footage, and so many legends. Ray the grader always wonderful to watch. And the Fred Turnball handling of the ball on the near post and the goalie saving the penalty to beat Notts County.... thankyou Mr Crook for remembering Andy the follically challenged superman. What price nowadays? If MacCormack is worth £12 million.....

I remember all these great memories, but, for me the one that puts a lump in my throat was when he came back to Villa Park as manager of Oldham.
When the teams came out and he walked down the touch line it seemed like the whole ground was singing 'Andy, Andy Lochhead,  Andy Lochhead in the air'
I'm pretty sure we beat them 6-0 and he walked back down the touch line to his song again.
He commented later that he had tears in his eyes

Villa beat Oldham 6-0 at Boundary Park in 71/72 and Andy scored at hatrick for us.

Yes, I vaguely remember that.
What was the score when he returned as their manager? Sure it was 6-0, too

EDIT: found it, April '75, 5-0 Brian Little hat trick

Hearing the "Villa, Villa....." chants from the Bournemouth match still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

It seems to go up forever, to the heavens, a most inspiring of sights.

Acc to Wiki, Jimmy Frizzell was manager when we beat them 5-0 ?? Was Andy a sub ??

Andy was playing for them apparently, ( 10 goals  in 45 matches) though not necessarily in that match.

Still going -  was doing match day hospitality for Burnley last season

Blimey, could have swore he managed them.
It was 40 years ago
