ON THIS DAY
Villa lose a fourth consecutive game and suffer their fifth reverse in five six games and tumble to 11th in the table. As a result Villa end 2004 moving in a very different trajectory than 2003 with David O'Leary continuing to belittle his charges in post match interviews. Stefan Moore makes his final appearance for Villa aged 21 before moving on to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer in July 2005. Moore played for Villa between 2000-01 and 2004-05 making 30 appearances, of which 19 were as a substitute, and scoring twice.
