ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 14 July 2001
Villa's early start to the season sees them defeated in Croatia but an away goal gives them a lifeline ahead of the second leg at Villa Park.
Villa face Slaven Belupo Koprivnica for the first time in competitive football, Slaven become the 144th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football, Villa’s 28th continental European opponents and their first from Croatia.
A sick John Gregory absents himself from a mid July central European jaunt as an unembellished team with a week's training fall to a last minute winner.
Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill, 18, makes his first squad appearance for Villa after coming through the youth ranks.
