He got 4 that night mate:) A great night that was.

He did indeed get four and Mark Brennan (remember him?) got the other. Villas goal was a Platt penalty down at the Holte End.

Shows what i know,thought it was Ward,yep ,i remember Brennan,a bit like most of our side at the time,fuckin crap.

City end was full and i was sat behind the dug out that night... was a teenager at the time, sat on my hands for the first two of white's goals... when he got his hatrick (our 4th) i jumped up... thought i might be in for some stick but got away with it, so was going mental when the 5th went in... Stevie Redmond turned round and gave us the thumbs up... great night - great to look at the blues in full voice and be on the receiving end!!!

Micah's last gasp goal at Villa in the FA Cup.

Ah but were any of you in their Boardroom sat around the table drinking the cans of lager left in the fridge in there. I was along with about 50 other fans, some numpty had left an emergency exit door open in the City end and the blues fans decided to help themselves unfortunately one fan went to far and tried to throw a chair threw the trophy cabinet window! thankfully it was unbreakable.

My main memory was when Doyle & Macari were at it and the ref (Neil Midgeley I think) had to take the players off at Maine Road to calm down. Also at Ewood Park when we lost 4-0 when Scott Sellars tore Gerry Taggart apart when he played RIGHT back for us and thinking what a sh*t day it was only to listen on the radio with a coach load of silent blues on the way home to the tragic events of Hillsboro unfold. RIP

I was there when Ian Brightwell came and sat with the fans at Port Vale with Nicky Summerbee, joining in the singing, stood up during if you hate Man Utd clap your hands, nudging Summerbee who is a RAG. (it was the season when we had 6 managers)

Always knew Bobby was a legend, that day confirmed it...
