ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 1 October 1975
Villa, having realistically lost the tie in Belgium a fortnight before, can't break through against Antwerp but never stop trying even as obvious frustration builds but Ron Saunders' men are knocked out of the first European campaign at the first hurdle.
Ron Saunders' Villa lose the home leg of their inaugural UEFA Cup tie and are knocked out 1-5 on aggregate. Meanwhile, Sammy Morgan made his final Villa appearance as a substitute aged 28 before moving on to Brighton & Hove Albion in December 1975. Morgan played for Villa between 1973-74 and 1975-76 making 51 appearances and scoring 15 goals.
