ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 28 January 1996
Dwight Yorke dispatches Sheffield United at Bramall Lane with an impudent penalty but Villa are far from convincing winners in the fourth round of the FA Cup against the second tier side.
Dwight Yorke contributes his 75th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 182nd appearance (142 Starts) to make it W78 D46 L58, 49 Goals, 26 Assists and 2 Booking at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.43 he has played so far in his Villa career.
