ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 28 February 1981
Villa see off an obstinate Wolves to make it six consecutive League wins. The game though is overshadowed by Wolves' Peter Daniel breaking his leg during a 50-50 tackle with Villa's Tony Morley.
Meanwhile, down in East Anglia, Ipswich boss Bobby Robson shows his nerves with some strange post match comments.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it six wins in a row to make it twenty wins, six draws and five defeats in thirty one League matches this season.
Villa however still sit in second place in the Division One table two points behind leaders Ipswich who also continue their winning streak.
