ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 20 January 1982
A poor performance from the officials, a bizarre half time sending off, more horrendous challenges and the massed ranks of 11 Albion defenders stifling the game see Villa - far from their best form - unable to break through and out of the League Cup at the quarter final stage.
Winger Tony Morley 🏴 is 🟥 sent off for the first time in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 97th appearance.
