ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 3 March 1996
Villa lose for the first time in 8 games under Brian Little however a disgraceful episode from Steve Staunton overshadows any deficiencies in the performance. Villa, 3-0 down in 8 minutes after conceding at 2’, 5’ & 8’, lose left back Staunton to injury on 23’ minutes only for him to then be seen laughing and joking with the Liverpool substitutes and staff as his team suffered on the pitch. Staunton would never recover the confidence of Villa fans and despite what promised and proved to be a long - although interrupted - Villa career would never see Staunton regarded as a celebrated player of the club.
Gareth Farrelly makes his first start for the club after 3 substitute appearances to make it W3 D0 L1 so far in his early Villa career.
Future Villa centre forward Stan Collymore and future Villa ‘keeper David James line up for Liverpool.
