ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 12 April 1997
Villa struggle at Derby once again as they lose there for the second time this season under Brian Little.
Alan Wright makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W47 D26 L27, 3 Goals, 6 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
In something that no-one should be forced to see, Villa legend Paul McGrath lines up for Derby who he had joined earlier in the season following his disappointing release by Villa.
