Saturday, 4 January 2003
Graham Taylor's difficult second coming continues as Villa are routed at home by Blackburn, even more embarrassing than the result was that the defeat was inspired by a shadow of his former self Dwight Yorke.
Liam Ridgewell, 18, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after graduating from the youth team to become the 768th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Juan Pablo Ángel scores his 20th goal in a Villa shirt but suffers his 25th defeat on his 47th start (64 Appearances) to make it W25 D14 L25, 20 Goals, 7 Assists and 6 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.77 starts so far in his Villa career.
