Are yes the Villa game. It was their final home game and championship celebration game. 44 years later it gives me a chance for the last whinge of the season re game changing decisions. Villa were struggling to get their game going when King Ern scored an Ern classic at the Holt End only for a clown with a flag to wrongly disallow it. I was sat directly behind the clown and within range of him so as to propel a plastic beer container (less than half full) in his general direction (after the frustration had died down I was pleased I had missed the rotund, incompetent, single parented target).Villa went straight up other end and scored.

On a serious note and for the ones gathering historical milestones for Erns day would this particular game be the highest crowd he played in front of? 45,500+

He played Wembley in (1990)?? In a charity game before Charity Shield (Arsenal 0 Spurs 0- most boring game ever).
I went purely to see Ernie play at Wembkey

Well remembered Sir

There was. Unless Villa were one of the forerunners of falsifying declared attendance figures.

Course he is. He's 33, out of contract, getting regular starts, probably settled in the area and doesn't want to move down a league.

Its a no brainer for him!

Just wondering if we could get both to sign it for auctioning off to raise funds for Ernie's charity game

I was sat behind you Mick. Memory might be playing tricks but I recall Ernie had two of three stabs with the side of his foot before bundling it home. Surely not a classic. A match memorable because it was, and still is I think, the biggest league gate I've ever seen us play in front of. Glad to be corrected.

Even more so. One of the greatest performances (second half) I've ever seen by a Chesterfield goalkeeper, if not any goalkeeper courtesy of one Phil Tingat(sic) or was this another game? There must be others who recall the occasion.

Memory is certainly playing tricks with one of us ! The goal I refer to was a header from appX 10 yards from a cross played in from just in front of us. We were sat roughly level with pen spot 2nd row back
