ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 21 February 1998
Villa lose successive matches to leave them with 1 win in 7 Premier League games under Brian Little.
Brian Little quits his post much to the heartbreak of the fanbase who were largely still with the legendary Villa man.
Little becomes the second successive Villa manager to leave their post after a defeat to bogey side Wimbledon after Ron Atkinson in November 1994.
Ugo Ehiogu contributes his 5th assist in a Villa shirt on his 212th appearance (198 Starts) to make it W89 D52 L71, 12 Goals, 5 Assists, 25 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
