Villa fan here. I remember this night so well. Sitting in lower Holt and when blues scored at least 20 blues fans jumped up celebrating. Big fights kicked off. I was only 14 with my 2 mates. Was pretty tense atmosphere all night. Then on the way to aston train station with helicopters flying all over with spot lights on fans scrapping outside the ground. Pretty scary for a young fan without my parents. Just ran to the station.
A relative of mine was a copper in the west mids police and they said there were hundreds if not thousands of arrests during these games but they never published figures as they didn't want it too reflect badly on the city.
@@jonnym7926I'm Villa through and through and never miss a home match but I just love football in general so I never pass up an opportunity to go any game if a tickets going spare and I've been to so many of the so called big derby football matches where apparently fans hate eachother etc ect but I'll tell you now no derby is a hateful as the Villa Birmingham derby. It's pure nastiness.
I wasn't at this particular game but can totally agree about the hate comment. I'm a bluenose and been to many Villa- Blues games and I must say the atmosphere in the ground is electric. That hostile feeling you get when the match is about to kick off is scary but brilliant. I crave these derby's and hope Blues can sort this joke out with the board and hopefully both teams will meet agin soon.
Wolves fan. I never got why Blues fans despised Villa so much (besides geography) but since working with a bunch of them this last five years I can understand.
@@JF-sb5mo Why exactly are we in your shadow? We go where we want, do what we want, it's a predominantly Blues town, when we play we hardly see you, cos a lot of your fans are commuter. So come on do pray tell?
As a young villa fan this was my first derby, and my worst. I got shit about this one at school for years haha. Had some better times since against the blues, got to love derby day. Who knows when the next one will be.
Enjoy your time in the league you should be in, fella. I am a Blue Nose and was in the Holte End when we beat you 2-1. I behaved myself. One day some miracle will happen and Blues will rise again.
Blues have really being missing Fahey this season. I didn't rate him like a lot of fans but I think in his abscence we've been really shown up this season. Get well Keith.
I’m a blues fan and sat in the holte end with 3 other blues fans as the vile couldn’t sell their tickets. I was only 16 and celebrated both goals. Great memories
Doubt all you want. It happened and I wasn’t the only group of blues supporters in that stand. We all stood up and celebrated not once but twice. I guess you watched it on tv 🤣
The tackle was a sending off , The headbutt was a sending off ,,, But the commentators are looking to blame the player in blue saying it must have been something he said ....
It was bubbling under the surface all night, but the tackle and the headbutt was the catalyst which led to everything else that happened afterwards. It was possibly the most poisonous atmosphere I've ever been in.
He was annoyed and had a right to be. Six foot and 13 stone through your ankle. I only played until I was 26 and my ankles are bad and crack like twigs when I turn them. On sticks if I had been a pro until 32.
For all those accusing Savage of saying something racist should know after the game Dublin admitted that nothing of the sort was said. What Dublin did was wrong and should have known better. Might of cost Villa a chance of winning the game. KRO!!!!
No prob mate. It ended up finishing at 10 mins when there was prob a couple of minutes left which showed it all erupt at the end with Joey Gudjonsson's tackle on Upson and the fans losing it. Will try and upload the rest when I get chance.
dublin's challenge was very very late in the first place, of corse Savage said something that really annoyed Dublin but with a late challenge and a blatent headbutt (not the worst in the world but he definetly moved his head towards Savage) he couldn't have hoped to stay on the pitch. Silly play by Dublin in such an important game
Enckelman should have had that second goal covered he basically chickened out. Despite enjoying the result as a Blues fan I was never a Robbie Savage fan. As the poor brother in the second City any win over Villa was Gold dust whether us Blues fans like to admit it or not!
Can't disagree there. Savage was a crafty so-and-so - even before we signed him. He had a deserved reputation for cheating and generally being a snake. He even admitted that he'd have engineered a move to join Villa if Mark Hughes had gone there instead of Blackburn, and I'm sure he would have. With regard to the Enckleman mistake- we all laughed at the time, but you could tell that his confidence was shot to pieces after the first game, and a mistake was always likely to happen in the return game. If he'd kept his cool, he'd have got there first, but as you said, he saw Horsfield bearing down on him and bottled it. Ah well, Villa have certainly got their revenge since those heady days, and I've lost count of the times that we've bottled these derbies since.
I was never keen on savage either, a gobshite, who would run a mile if someone squared up to him. And his piss poor excuse for going to Blackburn. Tosser.
@JohnGolf123 What do you expect from a Graham Taylor team! He had the same tactics for the whole of his career, worked in the 80s but not in the 90s (as we all saw with England) and nearly got Villa relegated the season this game was played.
light years is more than an overstatement- a 0-1 win against us isnt what i call light years ahead, we outplayed you for 80 minutes. get ready to once again be equal to the team that carrys this citys name mate ;)

Should be in the FA rules that Blues and the Vile can't be relegated purely for the games they produce against each other, best derby in England.
Good times for the blues!! RIP J LLOYD SAMUEL 🙏

Good Birmingham side. Lots of energy and players who looked in the right division. Brief moment in time thing.
brilliant turn by Kenna on that first goal, he was a great player.
Club Brugge fans & Birmingham City fans , friends forever !
Stfu
Who the fuck are Club Brugge? Shit Club, just like Small Heath.
Shit club alliance
@Bcfc 1875 that mans worth more than your club😂 maybe if u had a player his level u wouldn’t be getting liquidated
@@ummyh5660 Funny how Aston Villa always keep very quiet about their original name.... HOLTE SCHOOL OF GENTLEMEN was not it... by jove! x
Back when top flight football was still worth watching, although even back then it was on a slippery slope.
If my memory serves Enkleman was was nominated for Birmingham player of the season for this

Can't believe Dion was shocked that he was sent off 😂
The Horse is a legend. Must be the only player in the history of this fixture to score home and away and finish a match in goal!

The miracle has started.
Gonna be 20 years since the both of youse play each other. Birmingham City are miles off the big boys. Pretty sad ngl.
The days when football tops where too big for any mortal man
Most penalties were caused by blokes tripping on their own kits
Lol I know what was that about
What a team Birmingham were back then. Now they're relegated to League One and are miles off Aston Villa
I miss this blues team!
Savage a shining example to all young footballers how to take everything out of the game and put little back
He was great for Blues.
@@robbiefellows2200because he’s got long hair, cause he’s everywhere.
That tackle on Robbie Savage at 4:35... 😱😱
A wonderful sight, and the headbutt afterwards, worth taking the loss just for that
9:55 you can see it kicking off near the pitch
the only thing he headed all game
Blues have really being missing Fahey this season. I didn't rate him like a lot of fans but I think in his abscence we've been really shown up this season. Get well Keith.
That season had everything
Enckleman's a blueeenose
Peter Enckleman. Voted runner-up in Birmingham City's Player Of The Season 2002/03
wish blues scored infront of there fans to see there reaction. would of gone mental.
This was probably the most toxic football match I have ever seen.. Pure hatred!
STAN THE MAN LAZARIDIS 💙💙💙
One of the most underrated players to wear the blues shirt. He was fantastic.
Having watched this, it just occurred to me how Villa were so much of a long ball team at the time.
Loads of sides were, football has really progressed from 2010 onwards
Dublin would iron savage out make no mistake would have been fun to watch actually.
Bruce may have been hated at Newcastle but he did well at Birmingham.
savage had a plan that day.... and it worked
Both Robbie savage and Dion Dublin would go on to have good careers... on day time TV.
I’m a blues fan and sat in the holte end with 3 other blues fans as the vile couldn’t sell their tickets. I was only 16 and celebrated both goals. Great memories
As if blues fans were shitting it that night in and around the stadium - nevermind dont let the truth get in the way of bullshit
I doubt it pal as holte end was always season ticket holders . Think you dreaming
Doubt all you want. It happened and I wasn’t the only group of blues supporters in that stand. We all stood up and celebrated not once but twice. I guess you watched it on tv 🤣
@@19856chris yes I did . Lol getting angry are we . Well unless you got a ticket from a season ticket holder then it must be another stand
liar
hopefully we play the villa again soon, missed this atmosphere
I agree, but the way they are now, I'd rather stay away from them for a while.
KRO.
16 years later we are still above them KRO
Still love watching this.. Kro sotv
Raul costello Yh I love to see Dion drop the nut on savage #UTV #SOTC

Great game.
Great result 👏 😅😅😅
Keep right on
Should never been a late KO both matches in that season as they were MNF matches.
Don't let you distract that the date of this match was 03/03/03 🤣

haters need to leave Savage alone i met him after a match and he was so nice off the pitch a completely different character to what people think he is
I get that but he's still a prick, baits us with underhanded digs still years later
Birmingham were in the Premiership?
When?
They were in PL in 2002/03 2003/04, 2004-05, 2005/06. Then again in 2007/08, 2009/10, and finally 2010/11. They haven't been back since.
@@JohnGolf123 There were?
Don't remember.

Always great winning at bell end park.this one especially kro
Sent off for butting Robbie Savage? But it's entirely the right thing to do.
Ummm, really?
max Bartholomew yeah, even as a blue nose i'd love to drop the nut on savage.
Travis Bickle Dublin fouled him anyway the headbutt sealed Dublin’s fate

Sixteen years since this happened and still the great unwashed talk about it..and They say we are historians.
@JohnGolf123 u had the chance yet :P ?
Sav was a big lad for Blues, missed he when he went. Dubz was out of order.
He was, his work rate was phenomenal. Blues never replaced him, and the term never looked right after he left.
Zidane should have seen this game could have been a different outcome then in 2006
No words
Didn't hit him hard enough Dion
Woo oo oo 👜
Blues fan here, and I thought Savage was an irritating prick.
Robbie whispered in his ear.....off road parking🤣😂.
Who ran away last week at St.Andrews
I agree!
IS. IT. FUCK.
Need a second part, missed Joey Gudjohnson's red card.
I wonder if they are talking to each other yet?
Dion Dublin a true Villa Legend!!!
lets hope he plays like that all season
We did score in front of THEIR fans ha ha it was amazing what a night
@JohnGolf123 What do you expect from a Graham Taylor team! He had the same tactics for the whole of his career, worked in the 80s but not in the 90s (as we all saw with England) and nearly got Villa relegated the season this game was played.
I am sorry the man is dead, but he was a fourth division player and he only knew knew fourth division football.
Cant wait to see us beat villa again kro
And get a bigger club oh I forgot u can't ur only a small lil town HAHAHA BIRMINGHAM CITY ALL THE WAY FOR THE WIN
SOTV KRO
SOTV KRO YOU BLUE BOYS 🔵
Eh
Laziridis couldn't even celebrate his goal in front of the Holte cause he was shitting himself lol
to be fair, Blues were so used to beating Villa in those days it became second nature
BLUES BLUES FANS WILL CHERISH THIS FOREVER 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Lol maybe if the villa fans weren't so gobby no one would argue we shud be frends we r both the same place
Mark Halsey is the same distance from Savage as Dublin is, if he said something so bad he'd have heard it as well.
Where’s the second villa red card?
fucking hilarious from Dublin, and I like Sav aswell. Steaming in with an old skool tackle then the headbutt, quality
KRO !!!!!!!!
for being headbutted?
Funny, memories of this game used to hurt, seems a long time ago, we're light years ahead of Small Heath Alliance these days
you are little aston
🥱
great game i was there 5 nil to blues shit on the vile
The greatest achievement in your shit clubs history
I heard Bluenoses got battered that night
@KeenoGamers I know, I miss the Villa loosing them.
light years is more than an overstatement- a 0-1 win against us isnt what i call light years ahead, we outplayed you for 80 minutes.
get ready to once again be equal to the team that carrys this citys name mate ;)
upson Birmingham city?cb
ahahhaha villa wanted revenge but got rekt again, and even better, at home :D
SMASH!
Haha, good on Dion. SOTC VTID
Did Savage justice, that's what. Was worth it just to see Savage's face.
SHIT ON THE VILLA
blues till I die

Pity Dion didn't catch Gobbie Cabbage a bit harder!
Why is it called the second city derby?
Alan Smith stating the obvious 'there was contact' hahahaha
Joe hart is gonna fuck up for blues in september. I can just see it happening.
