ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 18 August 2002
Villa lose a second successive game under Graham Taylor but there is at least evidence of a player in his new signing Peter Crouch.
Right back Ulises de la Cruz, 28, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from Hibernian FC for ยฃ2,430,000. de la Cruz excruciatingly described by Graham Taylor as the "Ecuadorian David Beckham" becomes the 763rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Alpay รzalan makes his first return to the side since injury ruled him out of the 2000-01 in December 2000 to make his first appearance under Graham Taylor and his 61st appearance in a Villa shirt. รzalanโs Villa record now stands W24 D18 L19 and 16 Bookings.
