ON THIS DAY
Despite a slow end to the season, Brian Little’s first full season as Villa boss was an unmitigated success.
A 4th place finish in the Premier League and a record equalling 5th League Cup win were the highlights however the emergence of an exciting formation prompting attacking football and a squad full of character suggested bright days ahead.
Defender Paul Browne made his second and final appearance for Villa aged 21 before moving on to Raith Rovers for £120,000 in July 1996
Former Villa centre forward Paul Rideout came on as a 70’ substitute for Everton.
