Best Goal Scored By An Opposition Player At Villa Park.

[dave shelley]

Bobby Charlton circa 1965, got the ball in his own half and beat nearly all of our lot and thumped it in from just outside the box.

Mike Ferguson for Blackburn, something similar.  Superb goals, and Manure were champions that year but we still won that match.

Another Arsenal one was Pires's chip.
Matt Jansen also scored a scorcher, possibly a cup game? He was a great prospect but was severely injured in a motorbike crash.

The Jansen one was a great strike. 3-1 villa win, league game

The Ince goal.

First time I’ve ever seen this. What a goal that was

[aldridgeboy]

First time for me too. Wow !!

Although we showed blues levels of backing off Hutton.

But still awesome

Jansen scored 44 goals in 153 games for Blackburn and was called up by England but missed the game through illness. His career was effectively finished by a motorcycle accident on holiday in Italy that left him in a coma for six days.

We weren’t playing that day, but this was pretty special at VP

A spectacular overhead kick from Arsenal's Paul Davis (at the Witton End) in May 1983 which received some applause from the Villa fans, we won the game 2-1.

That Pires goal from 2004 or whenever.

I was lucky enough to have tickets for the World Cup games at Villa Park.  Remember this one clearly.

i remember going in half-time 3-0 up in that game thinking it was going to be another Wimbledon 7-1. As it was we played at a more leisurely pace in the second half and Palace bossed it enough that we barely looked like scoring again. Great goal from Savo in that game too.

It's annoying/embarrassing that to most neutrals, best goal at VP inevitably involves a game we werent playing, never mind scored in - Giggs against Arsenal in the FA Cup.
After that, Scholes' effort would probably be chosen...would any casual neuts recall any of our screamers at home?

That was in Ken McNaught's last game for the club.

Cowans in his prime would never have let a player run past him like that.

But Cowans was in his prime then, so I've heard.
