On This Day
Saturday, 3 December 1994
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.

What they Said
"ASTON Villa striker Guy Whittingham saved his new boss Brian Little from a nightmare return to Leicester."
ASTON Villa striker Guy Whittingham saved his new boss Brian Little from a nightmare return to Leicester.
Little endured an almost incessant torrent of abuse from Leicester fans, still angered at the way he quit the club last week to take over at Villa.
The 41-year-old had been met by some 200 fans who taunted him with cries of "liar" and "Judas" as he got off the team coach.
Recalled Leicester striker Phil Gee then rubbed salt into the festering wounds by scoring after just five minutes.
Whittingham, however, struck the equaliser just past the hour to at least bring his manager some consolation, even if he is still searching for a first win.
Villa have drawn both Premiership games under his charge to remain deep in the relegation mire, having crashed out of the Coca- Cola Cup at Crystal Palace in midweek.
His former players were clearly intent on ensuring he had a miserable return and got the early goal they wanted after just five minutes.
Garry Parker should have snatched the lead minutes later when he sidefooted wide after Welsh international Dean Saunders had dragged the ball back, though Leicester substitute Julian Joachim then went close with a flashing drive.
