ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 23 December 2006
Villa lose consecutive games for the first time this season and the first time under Martin O'Neill.
Following the end of the reprehensible policy under the Doug Ellis of ostracising legendary players and managers from the League and European Cup winning side of the ’80’s, Randy Lerner rightfully restores the greats to centre stage with Villa boss Ron Saunders receiving a half time standing ovation on his first return to Villa Park in over 20 years.
Sadly the result on the pitch didn’t do justice to the great man as Villa lost a second successive game for the first time this season and are now without a win in 7, drawing 4 and losing 3.
Centre forward Chris Sutton, 33, makes his 9th and final appearance for Villa (6 Starts)) before retiring from football due to an eye injury. Similar to the effect of fellow veteran John Fashanu under Ron Atkinson, Sutton had a dynamic effect on Villa’s play and added a welcome hardened edge to the team. Sutton would have undoubtedly contributed more had injury not prevented it but he would leave prematurely with a record of W3 D3 L3, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings from his short Villa career.
Juan Pablo Ángel makes his 200th appearance in a Villa shirt (154 Starts) to make it W70 D56 L74, 62 Goals, 18 Assists and 13 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.50 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Gavin McCann collects his 25th booking in a Villa shirt on his 114th appearance to make it W43 D36 L35, 5 Goals, 3 Assists, 25 Bookings and 2 Red Cards at a rate of a card every 4.18 games so far in his Villa career.
