ON THIS DAY
Alex McLeish records his first Premier League win as Villa boss at the second attempt and rise to 4th in the early table as right back Luke Young played his final game for Villa aged 32 after asking to leave the club for personal reasons. Young moved to Queens Park Rangers for £1,010,000 shortly after. A player that many feel Villa should have signed far earlier in his career, Young was a consummate professional who fitted into Villa perfectly. Overall Young made 89 appearances for Villa and scored twice during his time with the club.
