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 lose a third successive Division One game to make it four wins, seven draws and seven defeats in their title defence. 

  • Meanwhile, Noel Blake made his final appearance for Villa having played just four times for the club between 1979-80 and 1981-82. Blake moved to Birmingham City for a fee of £55,000 in September 1982.

🟥 19 Dec 1981, Villa 0-2 Everton, Goodison Park.
