ON THIS DAY

Tuesday, 28 December 2004

  • Villa end 2004 with a fifth defeat in six winless games to leave them eleventh in the table but the fact they put in an improved performance is overshadowed by David O'Leary taking the concept of damning with faint praise to a new level.

  • As a result Villa end 2004 moving in a very different trajectory than 2003 but one consistent is David O'Leary continuing to belittle his charges in post match interviews. 

  • Stefan Moore, 21, makes his 30th and final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer in July 2005 leaving with a record of W14 D6 L10, 2 Goals and 2 Bookings.
