Aston Villa's formative years of Premier League life were a carbon copy of what came before. By the summer of 1995 they'd already pushed inaugural champions Manchester United before falling away and settling for a distant second place, and narrowly avoided relegation. The team's new manager, Brian Little, had grand plans after replacing Ron Atkinson in the Villa Park dugout. To that end, he needed to adequately replace Dean Saunders and Dalian Atkinson, Villa's lethal strike pairing under Big Ron. The first component, Dwight Yorke, had already been at the club for years. Graham Taylor had signed him in 1989 and he'd been an effective understudy to Villa's "Deadly Duo" in the first half of the 1990s. But he needed a partner. Little was on the hunt for a left-footer to add balance to the Villa attack. What's the big deal? Savo Milosevic, Little's 21-year-old acquisition from Partizan Belgrade, had won two Yugoslavian titles since turning professional with Partizan in 1992. His goals contributed significantly to his team's success.
