On This Day
David James gifts the points to Chelsea to leave Villa with Boxing Day and New Year defeats as they tumble back to eleventh in the Premier League table.

Left back Steve Staunton makes his first appearance in a Villa shirt following his return from Liverpool on a free transfer. Staunton, the 670th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football, had left in 1998 with a record of 261 Appearances (253 Starts), W112 D70 L79, 19 Goals, 30 Assists, 16 Bookings and 1 Red Card having run down his contract to secure a lucrative transfer away.
Forward Gilles De Bilde, 29, makes his 4th final appearance in a Villa shirt before returning to Sheffield Wednesday after his 3 month loan ended. De Bilde left with a record of W2 D0 L2, 0 Goals and 0 Assists.
Midfielder John McGrath, 20, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after signing professional forms with the club in August 1999 having joined the youth set up from Belvedere FC to become the 750th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
