ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 8 May 2004

  • Villa are held by Southampton in the penultimate game of the campaign at a strangely angry St Mary's.

  • Villa’s completely unpredicted challenge for a Champions League place falters but David O’Leary’s side sit in a remarkably strong UEFA Cup qualifying 5th place with one game to play. 

  • Despite a challenging start to the season, a rejuvenated Juan Pablo Ángel, the creative skills of Nobby Solano and the mass of young players available to the squad, hopes were unexpectedly high for a strong return in 2004-05. 

  • Centre back Ronny Johnsen, 34, makes his 57th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (53 Starts) before moving on to Newcastle United on a free transfer in July 2004. Johnsen left with a record of W22 D13 L22, 1 Goal and 6 Bookings across his 2 years with Villa.

  • Thomas Sørensen concedes his 50th goal in a Villa shirt on his 44th appearance to make it W20 D11 L13, 50 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.14 goals per game and 17 Clean Sheets (39%) so far in his Villa career.
