brummie Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Chris Nicholl, one of my favourite players as a kid. Famous for two things. One, widely famous, scoring all 4 goals in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City. The other, famous amongst Villa fans of a certain age, scoring this absolute thunderbastard in the 2nd replay of the 77 LC final (I was at this match, and the other two). https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1761830640314396973?s=20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
