ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 19 December 1981
A third successive League defeat and Villa are a "faded force", "running around in circles" and "getting nowhere".
Reigning Champions Villa make it 🟩 four wins, 🟨 seven draws and 🟥 seven defeats in their title defence.
Centre back Noel Blake 🇯🇲 makes his first appearance in 19 months as the reserve team player is a surprise call up 74 games after his equally surprising three game spell in 1979-80 amidst Villa’s worst injury crisis in decades. Blake’s fourth appearance in a Villa shirt would also be his last before moving on to Birmingham City for a fee of £55,000 in September 1982.
Left back Colin Gibson 🏴 makes his 🕒 100th start in a Villa shirt (104 Appearances).
Midfielder Terry Bullivant 🏴 makes his 🕒 first appearance in 21 months and first for 83 games.
