ON THIS DAY
Villa’s crazily early start to the season due to the involvement in the Intertoto and their away day home games at the Hawthorns come to a pointless, fruitless and demoralising end. Four sending offs, a raft of bookings, suspensions and injury were all Villa had to show for playing four games by the 2nd August.
Midfielder Stephen Cooke made his Villa debut aged 17 after signing professional forms with the club in July 2000.
Midfielder Alan Thompson played his final game for Villa aged 26 before joining Celtic for a fee of £3,960,000 in September 2000. Thompson played for Villa between 1998-99 and 2000-01 after joining from Bolton Wanderers in June 1998 for £6,480,000. In total Thompson made 57 appearances, 13 as substitute and scored 5 goals.
