Villa games on your birthday.

[Deano's Mullet]

Happy birthday to me!  I got thinking about Villa games on my birthday, there must have been a few over the years  but of ones i actually attended the one that springs to my mind was just a regular league game in 1997. We beat Everton 2-1, it was the final season for Brian Little and we had made a poor start but Everton were even worse and I'm thinking we put them bottom of the league by beating them.
Gary Speed scored a very quick penalty for them and we equalised through a Savo tap in. Big Ugo scored a header in front of the North Stand for the winner. Collymore actually had one of his better games and had a goal chalked off about ten mins from the end. That was on my 20th birthday!
As for games around my actual birth date I think we beat Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA Cup the following day.

Any one have any special memories of games on their birthday? There must be someone out there with Rotterdam or Wembley memories on their birthday which would have been incredible.

My birthday is 27th May. This year was my bestest birthday ever (and I have had a lot).
Forget Happy Birthday To You - Sweet Caroline is my birthday song.
My 2nd best was in 1982 when I sat in a bar by the canal in Amsterdam still in a daze from the night before.

I think the first time I went to a game on my birthday was 9th Nov 1983. We beat Man City 3-0 in the Milk Cup.

The next time was my eighteenth birthday on 9th Nov 1988 when we beat Small Heath 6-0 in the Simod Cup.

I saw us beat Fulham 3-1 on 9th Nov 2002.

I had a nightmare Sunday birthday on 9th Nov 2008. I took my wife to Villa Park and we lost 1-2 to Boro. We then headed for our local pub which had run out of lager and then went on to our favourite Indian restaurant which had closed early.

First game on my birthday was the 1977 League Cup final at Wembley. Spent it in a hotel in London as we'd flown back early from a holiday to go to it. So an exciting 0-0.

Next one was Arsenal (A) in the FA Cup in 1983. I was sure we were going to win the cup that season, we lost 2-0.

Oxford (A) LC semi 1986 less said the better.
Leeds (H) 1988 lost 2-1
Man Ure (H) 1989 0-0
Ipswich (H) 1994 lost 2-1
Boro (H) 2008 1-1
Spurs (A) 2016 lost 2-0

So in 49 years we've managed to avoid my birthday a hell of a lot, which is just as well as we've never won on it!

It was my birthday on 22/10/1980 we beat Brighton 4-1 (Mortimer, Withe, Bremner and Shaw). We went top of the old first division, for the first time in decades!) the rest is history

The first b'day game I went to was Villa 4, Charlton 1 on Jan 20th, 1968. McLeod, Greenhalgh, Godfrey and Woodward were the scorers. John Dunn made his debut in goal.

4-1 against Newcastle, 2008, is the only game I remember being on my birthday. Great game, Carew hattrick. I was in the lower Holte and felt in physical danger from his penalty.

There was also 2-0 against Norwich in the relegation year, but I have wiped that whole season from my memory. I had given up by that point and when told we'd won by my brother, I said, "it must be my fucking birthday!"

Ugggghhh vs Rachel Riley Utd away this year on my birthday

I don't give a fuck that her father is from Salford, she's just another glory hunter and can gat tae fuck

I have just remembered another birthday that coincided with a Villa game. We beat Cardiff 2-0 at Villa Park with the help of a Bacuna free kick in 'The Lambert Years'.

My Birthday is in July , so never had the pleasure of a proper league or cup game on my big day. My wife , two kids and even my late dog were born on days the Villa played !

[Meanwood Villa]

My birthday always falls in an international break these days which isn't necessarily a bad thing, Villa can't ruin it for me. I remember going to Grimsby at home in the league cup on my birthday. We went out on away goals after extra time. My name was on the scoreboard at half time but they spelt it wrong. We'd beaten Luton 4-0 on the preceding Saturday, that might have been the better choice.

[Martin Carruthers]

The Arsenal cup final. Horrible.

[Exeter 77]

My birthday is also now in an international break but as far a I remember we had a complete winning record - beating Spurs 3-1, Leicester 2-0 and Crystal Palace 3-1.
