On This Day
Brian Little returns to his former employers just two games after leaving them to join his boyhood club, Villa.
But doesn't have to look too far to see nearly 20,000 reasons why he chose to leave as a laughable display of acrimony shouts small club mentality.
Meanwhile, local pundits, who should know better, pile in on the 'dropped' Paul McGrath.
Almost unnoticed however is Villa's 3 game Premier League unbeaten run since the departure of Ron Atkinson.
Despite the relative upturn, Villa fall to 20th in the table.
Defender Chris Boden, 21, makes his sole appearance in a Villa shirt after joining the club as a trainee to become the 700th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football. Boden would move on to Derby County in March 1995 for a fee of ยฃ169,000.
Bryan Small made his first start of the campaign having last played for Villa as a 46โ substitute in the final game of the 1993-94 season.
โDroppedโ Paul McGrath makes his first substitute appearance in a Villa shirt after 255 Starts to make it W108 D66 L82, 8 Goals, 9 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Former Villa โkeeper Kevin Poole, former Villa centre forward Ian Ormondroyd and former Villa midfielder Mark Blake line up for Leicester.
Future Villa midfielder Mark Draper, future Villa winger Franz Carr and future Villa forward Julian Joachim also feature for the Foxes.
