I know the question refers to post 1992 but Chris Nicholl cannot go unmentioned for his four goals at Leicester, including two in our net!

Nigel Spink

Quote

FLASHBACK: Southampton 4-1 Aston Villa – 30 April 1994
Southampton survived relegation from the Premier League in 1993-94, largely through this win in their final home game of the season.

The messiah of the south coast, Matt Le Tissier scored twice and there were also goals from Ken Monkou and Neil Maddison.

Villa goalkeeper Nigel Spink was sent off for a challenge on Iain Dowie and away supporters were so disgusted, they ripped down a goal post at full-time, causing over £300 of damage.

Okay, here's one. Since Sky invented football our worst goalscoring run in the league that I can remember was 1 goal in 11 games. Who scored that goal and who were so crap that they conceded a goal against us?

Was it that Ipswich player who scored that own goal in 94/95 when we won 1-0 at Portman Road.  Cant remember his name.

Nope, it was a Villa player who scored it. And actually it was pre Sky. Oooops.

Mis-read the question!! Was Staunton the player who scored to end the run of "Aston Villa nils"

Yorke or Regis for the goalscorer?

Staunton did score against Norwich and we started scoring more normally after that again.

Regis scored the only goal in that run of 11 games, just need the opposition now.

A last minute equaliser against Sheffield United for whom Kevin Gage opened the scoring I recall. I missed this game as for reasons I cannot adequately explain, I went to see Wolves v Newcastle instead.
