ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 31 January 2007
Villa suffer a narrow defeat to make it six defeats in eight Premier League games under Martin O'Neill as the squad sees exciting new arrivals in Ashley Young and John Carew.
A debut goal from Ashley Young and a fine bow from fellow new boy John Carew are not enough to stop Villa falling to defeat as Villa are made painfully aware of what they missed out on with Newcastle's off season shenanigans as James Milner opens the scoring.
Legendary Villa centre forward Juan Pablo Ángel, 31, makes his 205th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (158 Starts) ahead of his move to the New York Red Bulls in April 2007. Ángel epitomised everything the Villa faithful love in a player - dedication, triumph through adversity, more than a little skill and a strong no. 9. Ángel played for Villa between 2000-01 and 2006-07 leaving with a record of W71 D57 L77, 62 Goals, 18 Assists and 13 Bookings.
Centre forward John Carew makes his debut aged 27 after joining in the swap deal that took Milan Baroš to Olympique Lyonnais. As one Villa legend departed, another arrived - Carew would go on to be one of the greatest cult heroes in the club’s history.
Winger Ashley Young makes his Villa debut aged 21 after joining from Watford for a fee of £11,880,000 earlier this month to become the 797th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football. Young’s signature was something of a coup for Villa and his arrival showed a new, reinvigorated impetus to drive Villa up the league with an attacking football philosophy. Young would return to Villa in 2021, now a veteran, after a stellar 10 year trophy winning career.
For all its problems, disappointments and false dawns, the Gregory/Taylor/O'Leary/O'Neill era had now produced not one, not two, not three but seven bona fide club legends in Olof Mellberg, James Milner, Ashley Young, Martin Laursen, Stiliyan Petrov, Juan Pablo Ángel and John Carew.
Stiliyan Petrov collects his first booking in a Villa shirt on his 23rd appearance to make it W5 D9 L9, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Thomas Sørensen suffers his 50th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 145th appearance to make it W53 D42 L50, 184 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.27 goals per game and 44 Clean Sheets (33%) so far in his Villa career.
