ON THIS DAY
Villa end a run of 11 games without a win with two late goals to beat Watford. Since the turn of the year, and the return of their first team goalkeepers, Villa have a win, a draw and a loss in the League and as a result climb back up to 14th place. Meanwhile a swathe of changes to the Villa squad are underway with the transfer window now open.
Full back Jlloyd Samuel made his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer in July 2007. Jlloyd had made his debut aged 18 and between 1998-99 and 2006-07 made 200 appearances scoring 3 goals. Tragically Jlloyd was killed in a car accident aged just 37 in May 2018.
Forward Milan Baroš made his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Olympique Lyonnais in an exchange deal to bring Villa legend John Carew to the club.
Baroš had joined Villa in August 2005 from Liverpool for a fee of £7,960,000 making 51 appearances and scoring 13 goals before moving on later this month after just 17 months with the club.
Right back Phil Bardsley made his Villa debut aged 21 after joining on loan from Manchester United for the remainder of the season.
