20 years ago today...
We played Villa away in the FA Cup after being drawn back in as the "lucky losers" in the second round following Man Utd's withdrawl to take part in the World Club Championship's in Brazil.
A certain Gareth Southgate played that day along with Paul Merson, Dion Dublin and David James. I don't remember too much about the game itself other than Carbone's screamer and the celebrations in the away end when Paul Heckingbottom smashed in the rebound.
A great occasion and hopefully we won't have to wait another 20 years for another!

Re: 20 years ago today...
I remember being sat right behind the goal & seeing the size of James in goal. I thought it would be impossible to get the ball past him, as he filled up the goal. Luckily I was wrong, haha.

Love watching those old vids. Interesting exchange between Reynolds and Deadly Doug Ellis five minutes in!

Re: 20 years ago today...
What a day out that was. Cardiff turned up too when their cup match with Bolton was postponed. Huge following and we gave Villa a good go.
Re: 20 years ago today...
Can’t remember the reason why the 3rd round game was played in December that season instead of the usual date the first weekend in January.
Re: 20 years ago today...
Can't remember either, but it is only 2nd time I have seen a club game with 3 lots of fans segregated. They eventually moved a lot of Cardiff fans into the Main Stand
Re: 20 years ago today...
Yeah I remember that. Their game had been postponed so they pitched up at Villa and put in the lower section of the stand to the right of us.
Re: 20 years ago today...
It was because the powers to be wanted to end the season early to give England more time to prepare for euro 2000 not that it did us any good we flopped against both Portugal and Romania in the group stage despite beating Germany with an Alan shearer goal.
Re: 20 years ago today...
I remember Gabbiadini was suspended or injured. James made what I recall as an absolute worldie of a save from Duffield.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.
