ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 11 August 2007
Villa lose on the opening day as big spenders Liverpool win in the 87' at Villa Park.
Lucky, lucky Liverpool, just as Villa have an annual defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup so they have a day dedicated to late Liverpool goals. And so it proved again.
Midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker makes his Villa debut aged 23 after joining from West Ham United for a fee of ยฃ11,250,000 in July 2007 to become the 800th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Wilfred Bouma makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (47 Starts) to make it W15 D16 L19, 1 Assist and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Stiliyan Petrov collects his 5th booking in a Villa shirt on his 35th appearance to make it W9 D14 L12, 2 Goals, 1 Assist and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Stuart Taylor makes his 10th appearance in a Villa shirt (8 Starts) to make it W2 D5 L3, 17 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.70 goals per game and 1 Clean Sheet so far in his Villa career.
