On This Day
Villa lose for the second time in three games under Ron Atkinson.
Goalkeeper Mark Bosnich, 20, makes his Villa debut after moving from Sydney Croatia (Australia) for a fee of £150,000 in February 1992 to become the 688th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Shaun Teale makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W20 D12 L18, 1 Goal and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Kevin Richardson makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W20 D12 L18, 6 Goals and 5 Assists so far in his Villa career.
What they Said
"The only artificial aspect of Saturday afternoon in fact was a feeble Villa performance as they were comprehensively beaten 2-0."
They allow visiting supporters into Kenilworth Road these days, and there’s grass on the pitch too.
The only artificial aspect of Saturday afternoon in fact was a feeble Villa performance as they were comprehensively beaten 2-0.
For the second consecutive away fixture, Ron Atkinson’s men subjected their loyal followers to 90 minutes of tired, laboured football - and found they had run out of excuses.
Villa were lethargic from the outset and became more uncomfortable as Luton’s confidence blossomed.
It was a mixed debut for Mark Bosnich. The 20 year old Australian kept the score in reasonable proportions with two outstanding first half saved but was later booked for ungentlemanly conduct after a dash to the touchline.
