Phil King scores the winning penalty to secure victory over Inter Milan OTD in 1994. Quite the game and for me is up there as one of the best I’ve attended at VP.

50 years ago today Andy Gray made his Villa debut in a 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough at Ayresome Park.

It got a bit naughty after that game, but then in those days Ayresome was one of the worst away trips for trouble.

I shudder every time I see Micah Richards in a Villa shirt - it feels like footballing PTSD.

Fulham 3 Aston Villa 0

A great day as it turned out.

There's not been many times I've gone from the feeling as low as I did at full time to being absolutely ecstatic about half an hour later.
