Aston Villa played this team for the first time on 26-Dec-1890 .. this team plays in the FA Premier League today, and supporters of Leeds United have long memories after their defeat back in 73

I can still remember Lorimer hitting the cross-bar from point blank range, after it bounced of the keeper, who allegedly made a miraculous save
