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.
Goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer 🏴 keeps his ⛔ 75th clean sheet in 🕒 239 appearances in a Villa shirt (31%) whilst conceding 🥅 257 Goals (1.08 per Game).
