On This Day
  • Villa cannot survive an eccentric refereeing performance that sees three Villa players sent off over the two games including two at the Hawthorns as Celta secure an aggregate victory.

  • Villa’s insanely early start to the season comes to a pointless, fruitless and demoralising end. Four sending offs, a raft of bookings, suspensions and injuries were all Villa had to show for playing four games by the 2nd August. 

  • Midfielder Stephen Cooke, 17, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after signing professional forms with the club in July 2000 to become the 746th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

  • Midfielder Alan Thompson, 26, is sent off on his 58th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (45 Starts) before joining Celtic for a fee of £3,960,000 in September 2000. Thompson joined from Bolton Wanderers in June 1998 for £6,480,000 and left with W23 D13 L22, 5 Goals, 6 Assists, 17 Bookings and 1 Red Card having collected cards at a rate of one every 3.22 games in his Villa career.

  • Ian Taylor is sent off on his 223rd appearance in a Villa shirt (204 Starts) to make it W99 D55 L69, 32 Goals, 13 Assists, 43 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

  • Julian Joachim makes his 150th appearance in a Villa shirt (101 Starts) to make it W63 D33 L54, 38 Goals, 12 Assists and 2 Booking at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.00 games played so far in his Villa career.
