i was the last one on the pitch and Ruud ran next to me, i grab him and told him in Dutch "Kom op Ruud, score er nog een, doe het voor ons, voor iedere UNITED FAN die hier is" ("Come on Ruud, score another one, do it for every Red in the ground, DO IT FOR US") He replied: "Jaja, ik score zo de winnende maar aub, ga van het veld af"!! ("Yes yes, i will score the winning goal in a minute but please get off the pitcth and then..60 seconds later..he kept his promise
If you look at the fans on the pitch one of them is talking to Ruud.. if you go on Pete Boyles website in the 'great fan moments' section the guy who's talking to him tells a great story about what was said! An absolutely amazing united away day.
the important difference is that United actually managed to come back and WIN the games in normal time. there was no need for penalties because they dished out the good during the game, whereas Liverpool could only draw their 'famous' CL and fa cup finals
19 fuckin million for that talent, unbelievable. How times have changed to worst and not better. You guys wanna take a guess how much would he be worth in today's market? i'd say 70 mill minimum.
what? i was using YOUR examples, ron you claimed that liverpool have made 'countless' comebacks similar to uniteds v villa (i assume these games wouldve been in their 'countless' fa and cl cup wins? you do like that word, dont you) name some then
MediumWave LongWave i was there as a 10 year old in the holte end. united had the whole north stand lower AND doug ellis lower right up to the holte end. my mates dad went at the time. i believe it was a 9,000 allocation
Our ticketing system for this game was a fucking joke! Doug Ellis was clueless. I’ve always said Man Utd are the best fans at Villa Park. You had your night fair play. Lots of trouble on Witton Lane afterwards
Yeah ill be there, watching the inevitable United beating that has been dished out to villa in the last 20 years, we're shocking this year, might be your last time down villa park for a while
remember villa fans singing the oh so original " shall we sing a song for you" at 2 up. We immediately replied with "shall we fill your ground for you". As well our official huge allocation we had plenty of reds in home sections too. Small time divs from Worcester, & Devon singing " support yer local team" and not forgetting the pathetic Scunthorpe Villa Flag
Small time divs? As opposed to the small time glory hunting mongs from Dublin, Norway, London, Birmingham, North Wales, East Anglia, Belfast & Cornwall attaching themselves to a club they have zero connection to? Anyway, your away support is in free fall now Mr Boyle. Full of youtubers & vegans. What a shame 🥴
lol surprise surprise, bringing out the grammar/spelling insults. I've got villa in my username, it's pretty obvious to what i was implying, no? What was the "joke" anyway???
Yes because that was so hilarious wasn't it? I don't even know what im arguing about with you anymore. I just keep getting non stop breeze. Why use the word kindergarten too? Are you from America?
This was the game when Ruud cemented his place as a fan favourite, such a memorable night.
it wasn't the biggest of games but my word what a comeback
typical of the great man united :D
Thank a lot man! cannot wait for next season.
Massive United firm that day.
Cause you had a huge allocation, plus sat in the home end
Thomas Glover ... still a massive firm

wow
We did it again! United!

An absolutely amazing united away day.
Great idea to play it at 7o'clock on a Sunday night
Memory ruuuuud 2020
I was there, one of my best ever games.
wont forget tony gubbas commentary

Van Nistelrooy the Best!
what? i was using YOUR examples, ron
you claimed that liverpool have made 'countless' comebacks similar to uniteds v villa (i assume these games wouldve been in their 'countless' fa and cl cup wins? you do like that word, dont you)
name some then
Does anyone know how many seats we were allocated for this game? It looks as though we took up half the ground
MediumWave LongWave i was there as a 10 year old in the holte end. united had the whole north stand lower AND doug ellis lower right up to the holte end. my mates dad went at the time. i believe it was a 9,000 allocation
7000 ish officially. Plus plenty in the home end
The jealous booing from the Villa fans. Brilliant!! I loved Ruud! 🇾🇪
there was no booing Utd fans used to say Ruuuuuuud, sounded like a boooooo
Lekker Ruud. Legend.
wish it was still like that! United all over the stadium
Our ticketing system for this game was a fucking joke! Doug Ellis was clueless. I’ve always said Man Utd are the best fans at Villa Park. You had your night fair play. Lots of trouble on Witton Lane afterwards
i really hate nit-picking ron, but in this game United scored 3 late goals to win, not just 2 like in all the examples you mentioned
Would you believe it ! ICJ
United
@nollaig29 wow i hope it took you a while to think of that.
Yerp a beaten man, you sure showed me
Yeah ill be there, watching the inevitable United beating that has been dished out to villa in the last 20 years, we're shocking this year, might be your last time down villa park for a while
brill
so loud you'd think united were the home side
"The little poacher" - it was hardly a poacher's goal, he skinned a player and started outside the box!
I was there

Ruud van nistelrooys retired, he can't come back lol
Yes because that was so hilarious wasn't it? I don't even know what im arguing about with you anymore. I just keep getting non stop breeze. Why use the word kindergarten too? Are you from America?
Up Da Villa? Up where? Into a fantastic 7th place in the league lol?
Of course there was a huge allocation in the villa end, its common knowledge that your all glory supporters and go to one game a decade
Please please please, come to see United you’ve only come to see United
lmfao you really are wound up about this aren't you? Jesus Christ. I think its jokes. Are you from America by the way? Just out of interest?
RUUUUUUUUUUD
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh :( :( :( :( :( :(
