ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 13 March 1999
Villa succumb to their third successive defeat under John Gregory and their seventh in eight games in all competitions as they slump to 6th in the table with their early title challenge seemingly gone.
Midfielder Steve Stone, 27, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from Nottingham Forest for a fee of £7,200,000 earlier this month to become the 734th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Alan Thompson makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (20 Starts) to make it W10 D6 L9, 2 Goal, 3 Assists and 9 Bookings at a rate of a card every 2.78 games so far in his Villa career.
Future Villa manager Tim Sherwood scores Tottenham’s winner on 88’ - just as he had done for Blackburn against Villa earlier in the season.
