ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 27 August 2005
Villa win for the first time this season as Milan Baroš hits a debut goal to beat Blackburn at Villa Park.
Villa secure their 1st win in 9 under David O'Leary having lost 4 and drawn 4.
Milan Baroš, 23, makes a goalscoring debut in a Villa shirt after joining from Liverpool for a fee of £7,960,000 earlier this month to become the 782nd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Patrik Berger, 31, makes his Villa debut from the subs bench after joining from Portsmouth on a free transfer in July 2005 to become the 783rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Steven Davis secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 33rd appearance (23 Starts) to make it W10 D9 L14, 2 Goals and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile off the pitch it is revealed that a potential takeover of Villa has failed after a bid is rejected by the club despite having "denied the opportunity to enter into any dialogue" with the bidders.
