Although this was just before I started attending away games and have since seen us play at over 100 different grounds, this remains one of my favourite City games of all time. With no away win in the top flight since (I think) January 1986, and desperately in need of points to avoid being relegated, we went to title-chasing Villa and hardly anyone (City fans included) gave us much of a prayer of winning this game.
