ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 9 October 1991
Villa concede a second half penalty to second tier Grimsby after Steve Sherwood makes a string of saves to see Villa out of the League Cup on away goals.
Centre back Shaun Teale’s first goal for the Villa can’t prevent an exit from the League Cup on away goals. Teale scores on his 14th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W4 D5 L5, 1 Goal and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Steve Staunton contributes his 1st assist in a Villa shirt on his 13th appearance to make it W4 D5 L4, 2 Goals and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
Paul Mortimer makes his 13th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (12 Starts) just 4 days after scoring his first goal for the club and 4 days after giving the Holte End the bird. No onw is really sure why but his Villa career is over with a record of W4 D5 L5, 1 Goal and 1 Booking.
