5/5 Well done Foxy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Originally Posted by afoxy52
Rammed is the right word match had started when we finally got in. No delaying kick off in those days. 😡
I remember Bournemouth taking the lead with Ted MacDougall’s flying header.
Tragically both John Sleeuwenhoek and Trevor Hockey passed away at the age of 45 and 43 respectively.

Hi Rosie
I seem to remember Slogger passing away but I was unaware of Hockey going,both of them at such a young age too.
Slogger was one of my favourite players when I first started going to Villa Park unfortunately like a few others he turned to the dark side.
I still have fond memories of him playing alongside Tindall,Deakin,Wright,Sims possibly Sidebottom as well if my memory serves me right & of course the legendary Charlie Aitken a good footballer & a lovely man who I’ve had the great pleasure to have met
Keep up the good work with your quizzes & I’ll try & hold fire & not jump in to soon with my answers

I was at the Witton end for the Bournemouth game. Ted McDougall's flying header was one of the best goals I ever saw at Villa Park. As disappointed as the fans were by the goal thousands of fans spontaneously applauded the effort.

Yes Statesy a cracking goal it was,I think many Villans thought the writing was on the wall after that went in,but the old lion really started to roar after Vowdens equaliser
Btw McDougall’s strike partner Phil Boyer wasn’t a bad player either together they tore up quite a few defences between them
