sheepyvillian Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Alaun Evans winner at St Andrews, to make it 2 - 1. What a goal. He showed the striker in him that day. Good old psycho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grdian I was at the infamous 83 derby. It absolutely pissed down, which was quite apt considering all the madness that took place. What a tough City team that was. I don't think I've seen a more intimidating player than Noel Blake, never mind Mick Harford. As for Robert Hopkins, nothing but a nugget. He used to stroll round the city centre like he was the dog's bolloxs. My old pal Brittle put him in his place. By the way, that was some head butt on McMahon, I heard it from the Holte. Crazy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robtaylor200 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I was at the game when Dion got sent off. We can all watch the old footage of Dion head-butting Savage. But there was more to it. Dion had taken the ball off Savage and ran down the wing to cross the ball, it went out for a goal kick. Then Dion ran all the way back to just past the centre circle and kicked Savage into the air. I expected him to be sent off for that, Then Savage got up and was nutted back down dramatically . Never did find out what was said between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 5-1 was great but I think 2006 was the better result considering the team we had playing. No Mellberg, Delaney, Laursen, Hendrie, Bouma, Angel starting that day and a lot of youth players in the team Quote Aston Villa: Sorensen, Hughes, Ridgewell, Cahill, Samuel, Milner (Agbonlahor 85), McCann, Davis (Gardner 24), Barry, Baros, Phillips (Angel 59).Subs Not Used: Taylor, De la Cruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right we were decent that first half and Sutton scored literally on half time. The 2-2 always stands out for me, for an hour we destroyed them, we were superb then the last half hour we were hanging on, and then Vassell on the half way line giving it straight back to them right on the half way line in stoppage time and the rest is history.
