ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 February 1982
Villa beat relegation threatened neighbours Birmingham as a new complexion is placed over Ron Saunders' departure with his pending arrival as boss at St Andrew's following what increasingly seems to have been one row too far and a playing staff no longer fully on board with the great man.
Reigning Champions Villa win for the first time under Tony Barton who remains unbeaten in the League after three games and as a result makes it seven wins, nine draws and ten defeats after 26 games of their title defence.
