ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 18 March 1978
Villa make it ⚽ fifteen goals against West Ham in their last five visits to Villa Park.
Villa record their biggest 🟩 win of the season to date with a ⚽ brace from John Gregory 🏴, a ⚽ first of the season from Dennis Mortimer 🏴 and another John Deehan 🏴 ⚽ strike.
It is therefore a curious time - if ever there is a good one - for the tedious reappearance of Herbert Douglas Ellis on the scene with one aim - a destabilising power grab for his benefit and on-one else's.
The 🟩 win is Villa's the first in six in all competitions to make it 🟩 twelve wins, 🟨 seven draws and 🟥 eleven defeats in 🕒 thirty division one games this season.
Midfielder Dennis Mortimer 🏴 contributes his ⚽ 🔥 30th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 111th appearance.
