ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 29 April 2000
Villa are held to a second consecutive draw at Villa Park but now have 1 defeat in their last 19 Premier League games under John Gregory.
Full back Najwan Ghrayib, 26, makes 6th and his final appearance in a Villa shirt before returning to Hapoel Haifa for a fee of £150,000 in July 2000. Not for the first time Villa’s transfer policy under John Gregory came into question. Gregory had signed Ghrayib from Hapoel less than 9 months earlier for £900,000 and he would leave with a record of W3 D2 L1, 0 Goals and 0 Assists.
Julian Joachim makes his 100th start in a Villa shirt (144 Appearances) to make it W62 D32 L50, 37 Goals, 12 Assists and 1 Booking at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.94 games played so far in his Villa career.
Future Villa 'keeper Thomas Sorensen lines up for Sunderland.
