ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 September 1982
  • Villa concede after 2' and look like another heavy defeat in on the cards but thereafter it is Tony Barton's side in the ascendancy as only Peter Shilton saves Southampton from a hammering. 

  • Villa though remain pointless and bottom of the table with three played losing 🟥 for the third successive game and failing to score for the second time this season as they sit rock bottom of the first division after three matches.

  • Right back Mark Jones 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 makes his 🕒 third appearance in a Villa shirt and his first for 6 months.

  • Centre forward David Geddis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 makes his 50th 🕒 start in a Villa shirt.
