For the second consecutive time Aston Villa takes part in the UIC. Last year the team from Birmingham lost the semi-final to Celta Vigo (0:1, 1:2), failing to qualify for the UEFA-Cup. The winner of the 1982 Champions' Cup finished the last season only 8th, the poorest result in six years. In his third year the team manager John Gregory was unable to solve the problems in offence. Frenchman David Ginola, who came from Tottenham Hotspur, suffered from weight problems. During the entire season he did not come up to the expectations and scored only three goals. The best scorer of the team was Dion Dublin with eight goals scored. The team will have to do without captain Gareth Southgate. After six years with the "Villa" the defender did not prolong his contract.

Aston Villa nimmt zum zweiten Mal in Folge am Intertoto-Cup teil. Im vergangenen Jahr scheiterte die Mannschaft aus Birmingham in den Halbfinals an Celta Vigo (0:1, 1:2) und verpasste den UEFA-Cup. Die abgelaufene Saison schloss der Meistercup-Sieger von 1982 nur auf dem achten Platz ab, die schlechteste Klassierung seit sechs Jahren. Die Mannschaft von Manager John Gregory hatte in dessen drittem Amtsjahr vor allem in der Offensive Probleme. Der Franzose David Ginola, der von Tottenham Hotspur verpflichtet worden war, litt unter Gewichtsproblemen. Er spielte die ganze Saison unter seinem Wert und erzielte bloss drei Tore. Mit acht Treffern war Dion Dublin der erfolgreichste Skorer. In der neuen Saison dürfte Captain Gareth Southgate nicht mehr bei der "Villa" spielen. Der Verteidiger hat den Vertrag mit dem Klub, bei dem er sechs Jahre engagiert gewesen war, nicht mehr verlängert.
