On This Day
Wednesday, 15 September 1993
Villa face ล K Slovan Bratislava for the first time in competitive football, Slovan become the 132nd team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football, Villaโs 18th continental European opponents and their first from what is now Slovakia.
Villa field their oldest side of the season - with an average age of 30.17 - as they record their second successive 0-0 draw to provide them with a platform for progression in the UEFA Cup.
Villa are held to a second consecutive goalless draw but this time are the victims of a poor refereeing performance as a simple penalty award is refused.

What they Said
"It was a penalty, no doubt about it.
โThe only person who didn't think so was one who counts, the referee.
"I suppose he might have had a problem if he had given it because it could have meant him sending off the goalkeeper, too.
โPerhaps that had something to do with it."
Ron Atkinson.
Villa denied by ref
VILLA manager Ron Atkinson claimed yesterday his side were robbed of a UEFA Cup victory by Italian referee Marcello Nicchi.
Villa played out a goalless draw with Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia but were denied what appeared to be a blatant penalty in the 55th minute when Dalian Atkinson was sent sprawling by goalkeeper Alexander Vencel as he made a mess of attempting to clear a back pass.
Atkinson said: "It was a penalty, no doubt about it. The only person who didn't think so was one who counts. the referee.
"I suppose he might have had a problem if he had given it because it could have meant him sending off the goalkeeper, too. Perhaps that had something to do with it."
Despite the disappointment Villa still came away with an encouraging result against a side that competed in the European Cup last season.
However, the day was marred when Villa's team coach was attacked with bricks en route to the match. One brick shattered a glass window alongside goalkeeper Nigel Spink and captain Kevin Richardson.
Fortunately the glass only shattered and did not break. Neither player was hurt.
