ON THIS DAY

Gordon Cowans 🏴 makes his 🕒 125th start in a Villa shirt (140 Appearances) to make it 🟩 W60 🟨 D40 🟥 L40, ⚽ 18 Goals and 🔥 16 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.12 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Midfielder Des Bremner 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt.
