    Good Birmingham side. Lots of energy and players who looked in the right division. Brief moment in time thing.

    What a team Birmingham were back then. Now they're relegated to League One and are miles off Aston Villa
  • Villa fan here. I remember this night so well. Sitting in lower Holt and when blues scored at least 20 blues fans jumped up celebrating. Big fights kicked off. I was only 14 with my 2 mates. Was pretty tense atmosphere all night. Then on the way to aston train station with helicopters flying all over with spot lights on fans scrapping outside the ground. Pretty scary for a young fan without my parents. Just ran to the station.

    brilliant turn by Kenna on that first goal, he was a great player.

    Should be in the FA rules that Blues and the Vile can't be relegated purely for the games they produce against each other, best derby in England.
  • I wasn't at this particular game but can totally agree about the hate comment. I'm a bluenose and been to many Villa- Blues games and I must say the atmosphere in the ground is electric. That hostile feeling you get when the match is about to kick off is scary but brilliant. I crave these derby's and hope Blues can sort this joke out with the board and hopefully both teams will meet agin soon.

    Club Brugge fans & Birmingham City fans , friends forever !
  • Wolves fan. I never got why Blues fans despised Villa so much (besides geography) but since working with a bunch of them this last five years I can understand.

    Can't believe Dion was shocked that he was sent off πŸ˜‚
  • As a young villa fan this was my first derby, and my worst. I got shit about this one at school for years haha. Had some better times since against the blues, got to love derby day. Who knows when the next one will be.

    The Horse is a legend. Must be the only player in the history of this fixture to score home and away and finish a match in goal!

    Back when top flight football was still worth watching, although even back then it was on a slippery slope.

    The days when football tops where too big for any mortal man
  • Savage a shining example to all young footballers how to take everything out of the game and put little back
