The 2-2 draw when he scored all 4 goals

Yup, I was there. I can remember The Kop shouting "Gi' it Nicholl"

RIP - proper old school defender

 

[Bowdenfox]

I was there. 12 years old and for some reason in the Villa enclosure, think my Dad had messed up when getting tickets so couldn't really enjoy Chris' goals for us, but as Bradnor says proper old school centre half..no tippy tappy bollox for Chris. RIP.
