ON THIS DAY

Wednesday, 20 January 1993

Ron Atkinson beats his old foe Malcolm Allison at the second attempt as the voluble veteran tries to start a one man war of words with a literally disinterested Big Ron.
Big Ron finally shakes the hand of the apparently needy Allison.
Dean Saunders scores his 14th goal in 24 appearances in a Villa shirt to make it W14 D7 L3, 14 Goals and 3 assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.41 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Neil Cox contributes his first assist in a Villa shirt on his 18th appearance (9 Starts) to make it W9 D3 L6, 1 Goal and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
