ON THIS DAY
Midfielder Lee Hendrie was sent off on his Villa debut aged 18 after joining as a trainee and signing professional forms in July 1993.
Goalkeeper Nigel Spink replaced Mark Bosnich for the second game in a row at half time which would prove to be his final game for Villa aged 37.
Spink played for Villa between 1979-80 and 1995-96 making 453 appearances (excluding FMC). Spink’s 453 appearances was the highest of any Villa goalkeeper eclipsing second place man Billy George who made 399 appearances between 1897-98 and 1910-11.
Former Villa centre forward Tony Hateley’s son, Mark, and future Villa assistant manager Ray Wilkins lined up for QPR.
