On This Day

  • Villa's awful season gets worse as they are beaten by Championship side Millwall just days after losing to League Two Bradford with Paul Lambert setting more and more simply incredible levels of failure.

  • Paul Lambert's Villa are knocked out by of the FA Cup by Championship side Millwall, three days after being dumped out of the League Cup by League Two Bradford 

  • Almost as bewildering as the manager's incoherent mumbling was the appearance of a banner in the away end proclaiming "In Paul Lambert we trust". 

  • Wags suggested it was Randy Lerner's last investment in a desperate attempt to keep the season afloat. Whatever the provenance of the banner the reality of the last 31 games was all anyone needed to know.

On This Day

  • Last season's second division promotion winners face off against each other at Villa Park as Villa recover from a two minute Tony Cascarino brace to earn a share of the points on the opening day.

  • Graham Taylor's Villa open the season with a draw against their rivals for promotion in the previous campaign and it finishes all square as future Villa record signing Tony Cascarino scores a brace in two minutes to shock Villa into a response. 

  • Right back Chris Price, 28, makes his Villa debut after joining from Blackburn Rovers for a fee of £125,000 in May 1988 to become the 655th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football. Price would go on to be a widely celebrated cult hero for the club over the coming seasons. 

  • Midfielder Gordon ’Sid’ Cowans, 29, makes his first appearance for Villa of his second spell with the club after returning from Bari in July 1988 for a fee of £250,000. Chairman Doug Ellis had sold Cowans, then aged 25, to Bari for £500,000 at the end of the 1984-85 season as part of his nonsensical dismantling of Villa’s League and European Cup winning squad.

  • A diabolical performance against second tier Millwall that is either due to incompetence, indifference or maybe both as patience finally breaks and the charlatans masquerading as chairman and manager face the fans' ire.
