ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 January 2008
Villa participate in the annual FA sponsored third round Cup defeat to Manchester United.
In the latest yawn-fest that is Villa's annual FA Cup tie against Manchester United something happened to hand the Old Trafford outfit the win but it's difficult to keep track of just what.
Luke Moore, 21, makes his final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to West Bromwich Albion for £3,380,000 in July 2008. Whilst not a prolific marksman, Moore's absences from the squad and subsequent departure came as a surprise to many. Moore would leave with a record of W39 D29 L30, 14 Goals, 5 Assists and 5 Bookings across his 5 seasons in the Villa team.
Olof Mellberg makes his 250th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W86 D73 L91, 8 Goals, 6 Assists and 31 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Gabriel Agbonlahor makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt (68 Starts) to make it W26 D25 L24, 18 Goals, 8 Assists and 6 Bookings.
Martin Laursen makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (48 Starts) to make it W19 D19 L12, 6 Goals, 2 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
