ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 19 March 1996
Villa warm up for the League Cup final as Brian Little’s much changed side are held at home by a tediously boring Boro side.
Centre Back Paul Browne, 21, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining Villa as a trainee and signing professional forms in August 1993 to become the 715th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Midfielder Scott Murray, 21, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after moving from Fraserburgh FC for a fee of £35,000 in August 1994 to become the 716th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Dwight Yorke records his 50th draw in a Villa shirt on his 196th appearance (156 Starts) to make it W85 D50 L61, 59 Goals, 29 Assists and 2 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.23 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Steve Staunton records his 50th draw in a Villa shirt on his 184th appearance (179 Starts) to make it W77 D50 L57, 15 Goals, 23 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Lee Hendrie makes his 2nd appearance in a Villa shirt and 1st start three months after his debut and manages to remain on the pitch to make it W0 D1 L1, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Former Villa right back Neil Cox lines up for Middlesbrough.
