ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 March 1982
A weakened Villa side - without centre forward Peter Withe 🏴, midfielders Dennis Mortimer 🏴 and Des Bremner 🏴 - put in their first poor performance under Tony Barton 🏴 and are well beaten by title chasing Ipswich.
Reigning Champions Villa make it 🟩 nine wins, 🟨 ten draws and 🟥 eleven defeats after 🕒 30 games of their title defence.
Centre forward Terry Donovan 🇮🇪 24 makes his 🕒 25th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Burnley for £25,000 in February 1983. Donovan had made 🕒 15 appearances in 1979-80 ⚽ scoring 5 before returning to the team in 1981-82 for a further 🕒 10 games and ⚽ 6 goals to leave with a record of 🟩 W12 🟨 D6 🟥 L7, ⚽ 11 Goals and 🔥 3 Assists.
Left back Pat Heard 🏴 makes his 🕒 10th appearance in a Villa shirt and his first in 22 months and first in 92 games as he contributes his 🔥 first assist for the club.
