During the 2000–01 English football season, Aston Villa competed in the Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons). Another season of decent (but rarely exciting) form saw Villa secure another top-10 finish, though this time they dipped slightly into eighth place after occupying sixth place a year earlier. Villa proved themselves as one of the hardest Premiership teams to beat, with only the top three sides suffering fewer defeats than Villa's 10, but a mere 13 wins and a staggering 15 draws ended any hopes of a title bid or even a top-six finish.
Juan Pablo Ángel (175) signed Villa on 12 January 2001, becoming the club's record signing at £9.5 million. Angel made his debut away to Manchester United in a 0-2 loss on 20 January 2001.[1] Other debuts included Steve Staunton (208), Thomas Hitzlsperger (99), Alpay Özalan (58), David Ginola (41), Gilles De Bilde (4), and Luc Nilis (3).
9 Sep 2000: In a league match against Ipswich Town, Luc Nilis was involved in a clash with goalkeeper Richard Wright[2] that left him with a double compound fracture of his right shin ending his career.[3] This was only Nilis's third match for Villa, having scored in both previous games.
