#otd 30 years ago, the late Dalian Atkinson scored one of the greatest EPL goals. It was a grim, wet day at Selhurst Park - temporary home of Wimbledon FC - and the epic goal will never be forgotten by Villa fans. Here's a few pics I took that day. #avfc #utv #astonvilla #vtid

@DannyDrinksWine whiplash

What's a movie from the last 20 years you think would be considered a Classic in the future?

@AndrewUllah @ManCity @AVFCOfficial @Daley_thompson yes, come to think of it, it was probably 1990 I'm thinking of... Daly scored in that game

@NickVagus @ManCity @AVFCOfficial @Daley_thompson Don't think so old un

One of my favourite away trips from our promotion season 87/88 @ManCity 0-2 @AVFCOfficial ( @Daley_thompson ) Gate 24,668 #ManchesterCity #AstonVilla #AVFC

@coachtomharman @AvfcArchive Rovers didn't have a stadium... the old ground is now the IKEA site I think... gas heads will be able to confirm

@NickVagus @AvfcArchive Why was it played there?

#OnThisDay in 1993, Bristol Rovers 0-3 #AVFC FA Cup third round replay, Dean Saunders 23' & 75' Ray Houghton 83'

@gulu1959 @WorcsCCC @TheCricketerMag yes, that last photo was also used on the cover of the Worcestershire cricket history book

@NickVagus @WorcsCCC Vividly recall the 1974 champagne photo from @TheCricketerMag with Ron Headley and Vanburn Holder looking on

@matty_hurrell @thevillan57 at Monaco last year, i had to take my shoes off and my shirt which they then confiscated... loads of Villa fans queuing up after the game to collect their shirts... good job I wore a vest 🤣

Can say I’ve never seen this before at a football game #avfc

@thecasualultra Where's a towel when you need one 😭

These Moroccans thought it was a good idea to light fireworks out of there car after they lost from Senegal 😂

@PigsAndPlans @Thundercat @RICKOWENSONLINE we need to talk about those shoes

.@Thundercat and @RICKOWENSONLINE in Paris.

@FBAwayDays it's either the beach, or the Favela...!

Absolutely no wonder Brazil have 5 world cups, look at the amount of footballs there are on the beach. 👏 That’s the lifestyle there. Love it! ⚽️🇧🇷

good afternoon on this lovely Friday afternoon #FelizViernes #FridayVibes

@itvfootball father and son... things you love to see

Unai Emery in training later today... 😅

@villaontour_ loved the video Max... shame the weather wasn't so good... Kadikoy (where the stadium is located) is the best area of Istanbul in terms of vibes and nightlife...pity the harsh restrictions prevented Villa fans from seeing this part of the city...we'll do it all again next May!

Home time. Onto Newcastle on Sunday 💜 #AVFC

@stusfootyflash I was there! ecstatic scenes for us Villa fans

On Andrei Kanchelskis’ birthday, a reminder of his handball on the line in the 1994 League Cup final. Two things here: 1. Brian Moore & Kevin Keegan’s old school views on the red card. 2. A camera in the face of a player after a sending off. Great drama.

@CumberdickB @jodyartbristol after a swim, every time

Oh can I have a 10p chicken soup and some 3rd degree burns please!

@TalkRhythmics @henrywinter @thevillan57 for sure. media trying to make out it's something much bigger of course

@NickVagus @henrywinter @thevillan57 Got pointless yellow for time wasting on one of the corners and then jogged off in a hurry 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ It definitely had something to do with those corners & then how quickly he came off. I can imagine Unai: "You get pointless yellow for wasting corners & then you run off in hurry!?" 😂

Really disciplined performance by Aston Villa. Difficult circumstances in the rain, atmosphere and a few lively challenges. Villa stayed calm. Mings superb, too good for Duran. Bigot excellent. Emery-Tielemans exchange a bit odd, and needs explaining #FENAVL

@henrywinter @TalkRhythmics @thevillan57 it's probably because tielemans had just wasted three consecutive corners before he was subbed

@TalkRhythmics @thevillan57 It sounded like they were afterwards, as Emery explains, 'he's like a son'. Not seen Emery, who I've watched for years, do that to that extent before. It's not worth a headline but it's worth explaining. Well played btw. Mings, Bizot particularly good.

@Jamorushton I assume it's because tielemans had just wasted three consecutive corners by not getting the cross beyond the first man

Actually very cute now you know the full story ♥️

Bizarre

JOB DONE IN ISTANBUL 🙌 #UEL

@AriMaj_official you must take a lot of luggage on your short trips to accommodate all the clothing changes

Should I grab that book, or let you admire the view a bit longer? 😜
