ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 29 August 1972
Vic Crowe's 🏴 Villa return to winning ways after their first defeat of the season to 🟩 beat Carlisle and make it 🟩 three wins and a 🟥 defeat in the League so far this season..
Villa climb back to joint first in the table alongside Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday.
Villa are inspired by Bruce Rioch’s 🏴 unexpected return from injury but far less inspiring is the further machinations at the club involving Herbert Douglas Ellis, that leads Rioch 🏴 to release an unprecedented public statement.
Right back John Gidman 🏴 18 makes his 🕒 debut appearance in a Villa shirt after graduating from the youth team to become the 560th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
