ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 8 March 1980
Ron Saunders' 🏴 300th game in charge of Villa sees them lose in the quarter finals of the FA Cup to second division West Ham.
An injury ravaged Villa side bolstered by youngsters play for the draw but 'concede' a disputed last gasp penalty and are knocked out of the FA Cup as they pay the price for an unusual, but understandably, negative approach to the game from Ron Saunders.
Centre back Ken McNaught 🏴 makes his 🕒 125th appearance in a Villa shirt.
Goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer 🏴 🥅 concedes his 150th goal in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 140th appearance (1.07 per Game).
Midfielder Ivor Linton 🏴 makes his first appearance in 6 months to make it 🕒 15 appearances (6 Starts) in a Villa shirt.
Forward Brian Little 🏴 makes his 🕒 300th appearance in a Villa shirt (293 Starts) to make it 🟩 W136 🟨 D83 🟥 L81, ⚽ 81 Goals and 🔥 63 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.08 games.
