On This Day
Villa open the season with a draw at lively Forest as Graham Taylor ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ looks to improve on 1988-89's 17th place finish.
But even without a victory it is a very special day in the history of Aston Villa Football Club as unarguably the best player to ever don the claret and blue makes his debut.
Paul McGrath ๐ฎ๐ช 29 makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from Manchester United ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ in July 1989 for a fee of ยฃ425,000 to become the 663rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Centre back Kent Nielsen ๐ฉ๐ฐ 27 makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from from Brรถndby IF ๐ฉ๐ฐ in July 1989 for a fee of ยฃ500,000 to become the 662nd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Forward Adrian Heath ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ 28 makes his Villa debut after moving from RCD Espanyol ๐ช๐ธ in July 1989 for a fee of ยฃ360,000 to become the 664th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Gordon Cowans ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ makes his ๐ 400th appearance in a Villa shirt (383 Starts) to make it ๐ฉ W178 ๐จ D95 ๐ฅ L127, โฝ 54 Goals and ๐ฅ 64 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.39 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Derek Mountfield makes his first appearance in 5 months and contributes his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his ๐ 34th appearance (32 Starts) to make it ๐ฉ W11 ๐จ D7 ๐ฅ L16, โฝ 4 Goals and ๐ฅ 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile off the pitch Nottinghamshire Police lock 500 innocent Villa fans in a cage at the railway station for no apparent reason and not an apology in sight.

On This Day
Villa continue their difficult start to the season as they lose for the third time in seven games having won once and fall into the relegation places in the early table.
Villa lose to a Trevor Francis inspired QPR in a poor performance.
Nevertheless the condemnation from the local rag feels misplaced for a recently promoted team in their second season under one of the most talented managers around attempting to rebuild the club and with a raft of new players.
Ian Olney contributes his first assist in a Villa shirt on his 26th appearance (13 Starts) to make it W7 D8 L11 and 6 goals at a goal involvement per game rate of one for every 3.71 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
