Yes what a player, very sad

[@glencurtis6052]

I was 8 years old when I saw him score the best hat trick I've ever seen live for Ipswich against Middlesbrough, Deadly Dalian RIP

[@adumbberg]

Thanks so much for this. I'm an American that lived in England from 90-93. I turned 17 this 92-93 season. I was an athlete and football (soccer) helped me acclimate to new surroundings. I chose to support Villa in 90. Great choice as it turned out. 4 of these 9 goals? Ridiculous. I was there for goal no 7. Being in the Holte end during the terrace era in the midst of thousands of drunken males singing about something they believe in is something I'll never forget. And yes, Atkinson did win.

[@eclectica1]

You lived here long enough back then to know that use of the 's' word is heresy.

[@alderaanic1042]

RIP Dalian Atkinson. Two goals nominated for goal of the season. The solo goal against Wimbledon is an iconic moment in the History of the Premier League.

[@mannyfabin1086]

RIP Dalian. I was 13/14. Great memories of a great player. As a Utd supporter the Villa team of the early 90s gave us a scare and great matches. My younger relatives mid 20s and under really missed out on great players like him

[@evonneokafor]

So sad that he died so young. RIP.

[@MB-pm4xe]

Sadly, Dalian Atkinson, who has two out of the nine goals here including the winner, got tasered by police and has died as a result.

[@Drawyah]

It's a sad story where there will be no winners. Atkinson had fallen into a manic depression and according to his father was on the hunt for all his family. There is a trial on the 12th that will look specifically at the actions of the police involved, clear any answers around that day.

[@carrroad]

After the jury's verdict at least his family have got justice.

[@zigzagwandrr]

Since it hardly ever gets talked about, I just want to show some appreciation for Dalian Atkinson's goal vs Sheff Wed. The power he gets on that shot, with such a quick and short backlift, is un-feckin-real. The ball is slightly awkward for him, but he quickly sorts it out, and then BOOM. The goal frame wobbles like it's been directly hit.

[@jamesroberts2282]

That was one hell of a Villa team. Atkinson could be sublime. Terribly sad way to end his life. RIP.

[@heasy6578]

What memories. And what a tune. Thanks for upload

[@VideotapeFTW]

You know, I've just looked it up, and if Wikipedia is to be believed, Dalian Atkinson won precisely one international cap - for the England B team. I'm not saying he was a world beater, but he was worth more than that!

[@edwardgreen1621]

Definitely my favourite era of football. Remembering a feeling I will never recapture.

[@daviddwyer8272]

Of course it was the 92-93 season. The dates throughout the video give you a clue to that. LOL And of course Dalian Atkinson's classic against Wimbledon won. That Villa team under big Ron played beautiful football as you can see here and I can think of at least one other goal from that season that should be here too. Great days!!

[@VideotapeFTW]

Looking back, it seems like Villa were right on the edge of something big, but just never took that final step. A League Cup or two doesn't really do justice to how well they were playing back then.

RIP Dalian, wonderful goal of the season for villa. They were on the cusp of something special around that time, 1993 to 1996, but never kicked on. Should have won the prem in 1993 but a poor April put paid to that. Also Dalian Atkinson is remembered here at Ipswich, where he scored a magnificent hat trick against a high flying Middlesbrough in April 1988. each goal an absolute belter. We always applauded him when he came back to Portman Road.

Nope, every other attempt would have ended up either on the road behind the stand or in the front garden of the houses on the other side of the road. Incidentally Chris Senior had a similar moment of glory against Millwall a few years back at that end in the Cup with an effort that also every other time finished over the stand.

[@chrisninety1]

Two things I like from this - more Altrincham fans seem to have turned up for goal 3 than Wimbledon fans for goal 2.

Yeah, that Dean Saunders one didn't even win Goal of the Month, so wasn't eligible for Goal of the Season.
