On This Day

  • Villa line up for their first game since the departure of Ron Atkinson under the temporary stewardship of Jim Barron to win their first league game in 10.

  • Jim Barron, Atkinson's assistant for the last three years, sees Villa fire into a three nil lead within 27' before Spurs hit back but Dean Saunders has the last laugh as his 90' strike secures the points for the caretaker.

  • Despite the result the White Hart Lane match would prove to be Barronโ€™s sole game in charge as new boss Brian Little was installed ahead of the following weekendโ€™s fixture. 

  • Dalian Atkinson makes his 100th start in a Villa shirt (106 Appearances) to make it W48 D30 L28, 34 Goals and 21 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.93 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

  • Dean Saunders scores his 40th goal in a Villa shirt on his 116th appearance (115 Starts) to make it W52 D30 L34, 40 Goals and 8 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.42 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

  • Mark Bosnich makes it 9 goals conceded in his last 3 games as he concedes his 75th goal in a Villa shirt on his 73rd appearance (72 Starts) and for the first time in his career Bosnich has a concession rate above a goal a game and makes it W31 D18 L24, 75 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.03 goals per game and 25 Clean Sheets (34%) so far in his Villa career.

  • Ray Houghton contributes his 25th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 105th appearance (95 Starts) to make it W45 D28 L32, 10 Goals and 15 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.20 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

  • Graham Fenton scores his first goals of the season and what would prove to be the final two goals of the three he scored for the club in 39 appearances between 1994 and 1995.

  • Defender Chris Boden makes his first squad appearance for Villa having come through the youth team set up.

  • Future Villa centre back Colin Calderwood lines up for Spurs.
