ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 10 November 1976
Albion, hammered 0-7 in their last match are once again overly aggressive yet are allowed far too much leniency by referee Ken Baker before they injure and force off Ray Graydon 🏴 whilst even Andy Gray 🏴, on his fiftieth Villa appearance can’t break through.
Ron Saunders' 🏴 Villa 🟨 draw for the first time this season to make it 🟩 eight wins, 🟨 one draw and 🟥 five defeats in 🕒 fourteen division one games this season.
Midfielder Dennis Mortimer 🏴 ⚽ scores for the second successive game to make it ⚽ three goals in his 🕒 first 31 appearances in a Villa shirt.
Right back John Gidman 🏴 contributes his ⚽ 🔥 15th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 128th appearance at a rate of one every 8.53 games.
