Did Lee get sent off on his debut at QPR? Christmas 96? Anyone remember the score?

Lost 1-0, iirc Spink came off the bench and had to play up front at the end.

23/12/95. Hendrie came off the bench and got a straight red. Ray Wilkins was playing for QPR and was trying to get the ref to let him him stay on.

He didn't get a straight red. His first booking was for kicking the ball away after a foul.

I was about to say the very same. I drove back from Paris overnight for this game as we were coming home for Xmas and it was mighty frustrating - Ludo Miklosko had one of those games where he stopped everything we threw at him. Wilkins did indeed act like a sportsman too.



I recall their keeper who the game of his life was Jurgen Sommer, not Miklosko.  Sommer had been terrible in the weeks beforehand, so we drove down fully expecting a massive away win.

I might be wrong, but when Spink came on up front late on, was it his last appearance in a Villa shirt?  He certainly filled it.

Looking it up, yep it was his last appearance. Some going for a keeper, second appearance for a club is a European Cup Final and their last for the same club more than a decade later is as a striker.

Great quiz question.

Saw Nigel being interviewed by Woodward recently who seemed to make a point of telling him that he was looking well. Has Spink been seriously ill in recent years?

I can imagine that podcast being accompanied by lots of fist bumps* and people saying 'Boom'.

Petulant little shit with terrible attitude. Couldn't stand him, still can't. The fact he is often rolled out to the faithful as a Villa Park Legend infuriates me no end.

That's a bit OTT, he was never that bad. I thought he was a decent player. Could and should have done better in his career, but didn't he play over 300 league games for Villa? Not a bad record I must say.

Not OTT at all as far as I'm concerned. Of all the Villa players I've seen, he's up there easily on his own as the one I dislike most. He's my Steve Hodge.

You must be well impressed with Ashley Westwood and his 120 or so, then.

Steve Hodge is my Steve Hodge. I don't remember Hendrie shitting in the club like the former did. He was a good player, and I couldn't give a shite what he did outside of the club.
