Aston Villa: On This Day

[Pat McMahon]

Superb performance against AM and so unlucky to go out. One of Dwight Yorke's worst games for us, in terms of missing clear chances. Very good sub impact from a young Hendrie.

Amazing atmosphere!

I went to the first leg, we were shit that night and quite fortunate to come away only 1 down.

IIRC Yorke fluffed a gold plated sitter after an unbelievable run by Joachim at the away game

Yea I travelled to that game. We actually played well and it seemed a good result but losing 1-0 away was a killer with the away goals rule. Fantastic trip though. Remember being in a bar with Nigel Kennedy before the game!

The home leg was a great game and we were a bit unlucky to go out in the end.  Collymore scored a great goal and their keeper with the dyed blonde hair made a great save at the end to deny us the goal that would have put us ahead on aggregate. 

[dcdavecollett]

Yep, that was a big save from Hendrie who tried to bend his shot inside the post but didn't quite make it past the 'keeper's hand.

2014 we lost 1-4 at home to Stoke.

[Richard E]

On this day in 1996 Savo’s thunderbolt put us on the way to battering Dirty Leeds out of all recognition at Wembley.

2014, Benteke did his achilles tendon in training.

[Exeter 77]

The last title winning Villa captain was born 73 years ago today. Happy Birthday Dennis Mortimer.

And on a more minor but still significant note Thomas Hitzlspeger in 43 today.

6 April 2013.  We beat stoke 3-1 away.  Lowton worldie.

What a shit team this was.

They were shit but what a day and one of the best terrace mentals of the last 15 years after Lawton’s worldie.

[Deano's Mullet]

1993 Villa 0--0  Coventry. They celebrate a 0-0 like they've won the world cup and we get halfway out of Aston before we learn the ref has added on extra minutes until Man Utd score to beat Sheff Wed. Bastards.

35 years ago today Chris Price scored his first Villa goal as I yet again put watching Villa ahead of my imminent A-levels and it was absolutely worth it.

What a great night that was, my first trip to Highbury.

"He'll never score as long as he's got a hole in his arse"

A statement from one of our lot on the Clock End shortly before the goal.

2010  Villa 1-0 Blues, Milner penalty. The day after I got married.
