ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 3 May 1980
Villa face champions Liverpool on the final day and the youngsters are unsurprisingly beaten to leave Villa in fifth place but the final table is incomplete with Forest, a point behind still having three games to play, whilst Wolves have two.
When the final games are completed Villa sit 7th in the table falling behind Forest and Wolves in the final round of matches.
Villa finish the campaign with sixteen wins, fourteen draws and twelve defeats in forty two Division One matches under Ron Saunders having been forced in the early months to play without stars Andy Gray and John Gidman, before losing John Deehan and then in the latter stages of the campaign suffering an injury crisis so severe that the club were forced to play 18 year old centre back Noel Blake in the final 3 games of the season.
