ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 October 1997
Villa win for the first time in 3 Premier League games under Brian Little as they beat Bolton at the Reebok to climb back to 10th in the table.
Villa have to cling on for victory after the late sending off of forward Stan Collymore who yet again embroils himself and the club in nonsense.
Stan Collymore is sent off on his 12th appearance in a Villa shirt and the record signing now has more cards than goals to make it W5 D2 L5, 1 Goal, 2 Assists, 1 Booking and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Steve Staunton makes his 225th start in a Villa shirt (232 Appearances) to make it W98 D64 L70, 18 Goals, 26 Assists, 14 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Ugo Ehiogu makes his 175th start in a Villa shirt (189 Appearances) to make it W82 D47 60, 11 Goals, 4 Assists, 21 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Ian Taylor secures his 50th win in a Villa shirt on his 108th appearance (99 Starts) to make it W50 D27 L31, 11 Goals, 6 Assists and 14 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Fernando Nélson makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (46 Starts) to make it W22 D14 L14, 3 Assists and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
