What they Said
"ALAN WRIGHT delivered his own personal message to England coach Terry Venables in the year of the European Championship finals."
ALAN WRIGHT delivered his own personal message to England coach Terry Venables in the year of the European Championship finals.
The balding defender did his Euro 96 chances cause a power of good at the Riserside Stadium with his first goal in Villa's colours after a surprise switch from Blackburn.
It was a stunning strike as well in the 21st minute. Tommy Johnson then secured the points with a second goal after 40 minutes.
Gary Charles whipped in a cross to the edge of the penalty area and Wright teed up his shot with his left boot.
He then sent a crashing volley past keeper Gary Walsh into the top corner.
Johnson put the game out of Middlesbrough's reach five minutes before the break after a flowing move with Andy Townsend delivering the final pass.
Johnson turned quickly inside the box to fire a shot across Walsh into the corner.
