ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 11 December 1993
Villa fall to a poor defeat as tempers flare in the stands after another poor team and referee performance proves too much.
Villa, without a league win in 5 matches, face bogey team Wimbledon, lose again, and drop to 8th in the table under Ron Atkinson.
Legendary midfielder Gordon ‘Sid’ Cowans makes the final appearance of his third spell with Villa at the age of 35 before moving on to Derby County in February 1994 for £80,000. Sid had played for Villa in three spells between 1976 and 1985, 1988 to 1992 and in 1993 accumulating a total of 527 Appearances, 505 Starts, W231 D131 L165, 59 Goals and 95 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.42 games he played across his Villa career.
Shaun Teale makes his 125th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W57 D35 L33, 4 Goals and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Dalian Atkinson makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W35 D24 L16, 24 Goals and 15 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.92 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Future Villa centre forward John Fashanu lines up for Wimbledon.
