On This Day
Villa once again overturn a two goal deficit to qualify for the Intertoto semi final.
Paul Merson, 34, makes his 144th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (125 Starts). Merson, a player with ability and influence far beyond the rest of the squad, who even as a cameo substitute could deliver a power of good to the team, was discarded. As a result in one move the team was robbed of much needed creativity. Merson would join Portsmouth on a free transfer the following month as Graham Taylor prematurely called time on a player considered to be one of the most talented and charismatic to have pulled on the claret and blue of Villa. Merson left with a record of W54 D46 L44, 19 Goals, 23 Assists, 7 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.43 games across his Villa career.
In sum then, this also ran Intertoto game, had implications far beyond the result on the pitch and signalled the huge challenges ahead for Villa.
Forward Stefan Moore, 18, makes his competitive debut in a Villa shirt after coming through the ranks of youth football to become the 760th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Swedish international forward Marcus Allbรคck, 29, makes a goalscoring Villa debut after joining from SC Heerenveen for a fee of ยฃ2,700,000 earlier this month to become the 761st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Forward Michael Boulding, 27, scores on his home debut on what is his second and final appearance in a Villa shirt 6 days after his debut and despite only having arrived at the club 26 days earlier. Boulding who had 23 goals in 113 appearances across 3 seasons in the lower leagues of English football was a curiosity, an ex-tennis player who Graham Taylor immediately promoted to first team football and who clearly was not of sufficient calibre to cut it in the top flight despite his scrambled goal in the win over Zรผrich. Boulding would remain at the club until the new year without making any further squad appearances and on his departure from Villa he would return to plying his football trade in tiers 2 and mostly 3. 11 years later, Jordan Bowery would make a similar transition from the lower leagues into Premier League football under Paul Lambert but this time would be afforded a full season before once again time was called on the unlikely step up.
Peter Crouch contributes his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 9th appearance to make it W3 D2 L4, 2 Goals and 3 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.80 games played so far in his Villa career.
Mark Delaney makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt (84 Starts) to make it W38 D31 L31, 1 Goal, 2 Assists, 13 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
Olof Mellberg secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 37th appearance to make it W10 D14 L13, 1 Assist and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

Villa suffer a shock outright defeat at home to Lille in the Intertoto Cup to render their away goal useless and end any European hopes before the season began.as question marks are already raised about the wisdom of keeping veteran boss Graham Taylor on for a second season.

On This Day
Villa recover from their St Andrew's embarrassment to beat Everton and record their third win in seven Premier League games under Graham Taylor.
Villa win just their 6th League game in 20 under Graham Taylor (losing 10) but make it 3 successive home wins to climb to 10th in the early table.
รyvind Leonhardsen, 32, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after signing on a free transfer from Tottenham Hotspur in July despite Graham Taylor believing the player had already retired. The latest leftfield, underwhelming and questionable Taylor signing becomes the 766th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Darius Vassell contributes his 30th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 109th appearance (48 Starts) to make it W40 D27 L42, 22 Goals, 8 Assists, 11 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.63 games played so far in his Villa career.
Lee Hendrie secures his 80th win in a Villa shirt on his 193rd appearance (148 Starts) to make it W80 D51 L62, 22 Goals, 17 Assists, 32 Bookings and 3 Red Cards at a goal involvement rate of one for every 5.03 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa lose for the 3rd successive game having failed to score in 14 of 29 league matches under Graham Taylor
Villa are beaten for the 20th time.in 42 Premier League games under Graham Taylor.
The once venerated manager is no longer the subject of deference as his defeatist, dismissive and self absorbed response to defeat exacerbates the chasm that this most torrid of seasons had begun to create.
Villa lose home and away to Birmingham for the first time since 1978.
Dion Dublin is sent off for the 2nd time in a Villa shirt on his 156th appearance (130 Starts) to make it W58 D43 L55, 54 Goals, 18 Assists, 15 Bookings and 2 Red Cards at a goal involvement

On This Day
Villa stop a run of four consecutive defeats to draw with Southampton but now have just 13 wins in 44 Premier League games under Graham Taylor.
Without a goal in 18 games, Peter Crouch makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (18 Starts) to make it W6 D6 L13, 2 Goals, 4 Assists and 1 Booking at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.17 games played so far in his Villa career as life under the struggling Graham Taylor proves more difficult than most for Crouch. This would prove to be Crouch's final appearance under Taylor with the player having to wait 4 months and for the arrival of David O'Leary before he would pull on a Villa shirt again.
At a time when Villa desperately needed quality, experience and leadership, left back Alan Wright, 31, makes his 329th and final appearance in a Villa shirt before being the latest player to move to Middlesbrough, this time on a free transfer in June 2003. An unsung hero of Villa, Wright had spent 9 seasons at the club and left with a record of W140 D87 L102, 5 Goals, 26 Assists and 24 Bookings.
Darius Vassell contributes his 40th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 133rd appearance (68 Starts) to make it W47 D31 L55, 31 Goals, 9 Assists, 12 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.33 games played so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
The truly woeful Graham Taylor reign comes to an end as Villa lose on the final day to leave them with twelve wins in thirty eight Premier League games and a 16th placed finish - their lowest since 1994-95.
In truth it was an impossible task to expect a great man, wedded in a certain footballing ideal, to adjust to the modern footballing world.
Sadly the laziness, or incompetence, of the Villa board allowed the pain to continue far beyond its clear failure.
With just 15 wins in 51 Premier League fixtures and 23 defeats, the football had not only been woeful but the results damaging.
The inherited squad, ageing but occasionally still effervescent, was a shadow of itself within months, and but for the emergence of young prospects there was little to cheer.
The unfathomable ostracism of players, not least Juan Pablo รngel and Peter Crouch, robbed the squad of talent, and the bizarre recruitment policy burdened the team with players simply not up to the rigours and standards of Premier League football.
Without question the worst season in over 25 years for Villa, the venerated Graham Taylor left with most people wishing to forget 2002-03 happened and with a desire to simply focus on that day at Goodison Park in May 1990.
Midfielder and Villa great Ian Taylor, 34, makes his final appearance in a Villa shirt after 9 seasons with the club before moving on to Derby County on a free transfer in June 2003. Taylor was underused by his namesake in the final season of his Villa career despite a record of W120 D79 L92, 42 Goals, 17 Assists, 54 Bookings and 2 Red Cards between 1994-95 and 2002-03. Despite his age Taylor could still do a job for the club, like Merson, Stone, Kachloul, Wright and co. before him but Graham Taylor thought otherwise.
Midfielder Joey Guรฐjรณnsson, 22, makes his 11th and final appearance in a Villa shirt of his loan spell from Real Betis. Guรฐjรณnsson had brought ill-disciplined passion to Villa and proved both entertaining and flawed. In a better environment, surrounded by stronger team-mates and a more progressive manager, those raw characteristics may have been harnessed to create a good player however that wasnโt Villa in 2002-03 under Graham Taylor. Guรฐjรณnsson left with a record of W4 D2 L5, 2 Goals, 2 Assists, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a rate of a card for every 2.20 games he played.
Midfielder Stephen Cooke, 20, makes his 4th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (0 Starts) before moving on to Bournemouth on a free transfer in July 2005. Cooke made his debut in 2000 and waited nearly 3 years for his second appearance before his final outing 3 months later to leave with a record of W1 D0 L3.
Peter Whittingham makes his 1st start in a Villa shirt on his 4th appearance to make it W1 D1 L2 so far in his Villa career.
Stefan Postma concedes his 10th goal in a Villa shirt on his 9th appearance (8 Starts) to make it W3 D2 L4, 12 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.33 goals per game and 3 Clean Sheets (33%) so far in his Villa career.
Marcus Allbรคck makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (12 Starts) to make it W10 D6 L9, 6 Goals, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.57 games played so far in his Villa career.
