Happy Birthday Andy One of those that help us on the road back from the wilderness. Scoring in both leagues of the league cup semifinal. The second leg against a formidable United team is one of the all time great Villa Park nights. Over 60,000 there and we were in the 3rd Division. I think he also chipped in 25 goals that season. Probably best known for his days at Burnley, he is fondly remembered by supporters of a certain vintage. UTV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Have we ever had a top flight game in which we were 3-0 down but came back to win 4-3 ?! I don't think there has been one in my lifetime unless it was when I was a very young kid. Maybe it happened in the 1800s, or in the 1900s before the 80s. All I can think of is our amazing 3-3 against Sheffield United a few seasons ago but that wasn't the top flight anyway. It must be an amazing feeling to be 3-0 down and end up winning 4-3 and I'd love it (absolutely love it) if it finally happened one day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were I think 3 down, though I could be wrong. It was a while ago Jim Barron was in charge, Villa did win 4-3. But it was 3-0 to Villa, then 3-3 before Saunders nicked a winner in the last minute. The game before, Big Ron’s final game, strangely also ended 4-3. Villa winning 3-1 against Wimbledon with half an hour left. As it was Atkinson’s final game, the youngsters reading this can work it out themselves how the rest of the game panned out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted March 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2021 It turns out I was talking rot. We were 3-0 up, then it went 3-3 then we won it.

OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2021 I know 2-0 down and won 4-2 isn't quite enough, but by heck it was fun at Spurs, especially since we scored all of ours in about fifteen minutes and they included an overhead kick, a volley from the edge of the area and a thirty yard rocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of us coming back to win any game, after being three goals down. A couple of terrific comebacks were: From 1-5 to draw 5-5 at Spurs in 1966 and we had a late chance to make it 6-5. We were also 2-0 down at White Heart Lane in 1992 and came back to beat them 5-2 (I was lucky enough to be at that one and I did "absolutely love it"). The nearest I can recall to us actually winning from 3-0 down came against Tranmere in the LCSF, when we were 3-0 down in the first leg and went on to win it over two legs, following penalties (I know that is stretching things a lot!).

Yes, brings back some brilliant memories (I only watch the ones we win or at least draw). I find "Villa Boy" a very good source for our games on YouTube. I've got the DVD of the 57 Final and a photograph of the team with the cup on my wall, must have been like Rotterdam 82 to those Villa fans that were at Wembley on the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look on Dalian's face after he had scored and Dean Saunders at his predatory best, with his two (the second of which made the game safe). Like in 57 & 82, we started the game as unfancied underdogs, but we lifted the trophy on all three occasions, because we are Villa and that's what we do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit much for me but not many clips of the late great Duncan Edwards and this was a game where he didnt have much impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
