One of the many things that I'll never forget was Sgt Nigel 'Santa' Rogoff hitting the roof of the Trinity Road stand in the Xmas fixture v Arsenal. We were 2-0 down at the time and after a very long delay, came back to beat them 3-2

Sheffield Wednesday at home 1987, 11 years old and the only time I have cried at football, stood on the Holte at the end of the game and everyone singing "Aston Villa, we'll support you evermore" was too much for me!!!!

Yes he did. He came onto the pitch in a less dramatic fashion and took a round of applause from the crowd a couple of years later IIRC

Must have been terrifying for everybody who witnessed it. He was lucky to survive really wasn't he?
