Best Goal Scored By An Opposition Player At Villa Park.

God I’m bored.

Few to choose from.  The only goal against us I ever clapped at Villa was Paul Ince’s for Wet Spam late 80’s I think.  Anyone remember that one?  Scholes I suppose....grudgingly.

That's mad, when I saw this thread title that goal sprung into my head.

Other than that, the Distin goal for Man City was pretty outrageous, and Scholes with one his many thunderbastard volleys, a game in which I think Ronaldo also scored a beauty and I had the wheels nicked off my car.

I've got a vague memory of Ian Wright scoring a superb individual goal for Arsenal in a bank holiday Monday drubbing at Villa Park, as we were nosediving in Little's first season.

Matt Le Tissier got a belter of a last minute winner against us. Did nothing else all game apart from that.

Scholes's was the one I will always remember.

I try to block them out as best i can but yes, the Scholes one normally does spring to mind.

Any reason why this depressing thread isn't consigned to Villa Memories?

Was that one in the first minute? Pretty sure Ince scored for them whilst I was queuing to get in the Holte, and finished 0-1? Great days

Can't remember - it was definitely first half.  And we lost 1-0.

Adam Reach's goal for Sheffield Wednesday after about 20 seconds a couple of seasons ago was one of the most spectacular in recent memory.

Paul Scholes.

Iirc league cup game against millwall.produced 2 different brilliant goals

While as claret and blue eyed as the next man I've always been able to applaud an opposition goal if it warranted it. That Mark Pembridge goal was certainly in that category. Dwight Gayle also scored a belter against us at VP for Palace in the last minute to win them the game.

Juventus' first goal at VP in 1983 was another brilliant goal, well constructed and clinically finished with a near post header by their striker who's name escapes me. I think he'd recently returned from a ban for taking bribes.

Cruyff it was a pleasure just to be there and watch the great man play, he was on a different level to everyone else - one of the true greats of the game.

But the best team I have seen was that Juventus side - they were unbelievable.

Wholly agree
