ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 27 August 1983
Villa open the season with an all action win over Albion as they share six goals in the first half before Brendan Ormsby 🏴 clinches the points for Tony Barton's 🏴 Villa on 66'.
Lining up for Albion is one Ken McNaught 🏴, another League and European Cup winning victim of Herbert Douglas Ellis' thirst for dismantling Tony Barton's 🏴 squad.
Midfielder Steve McMahon 🏴 22 makes his debut in Villa shirt after moving from Everton in May 1983 for a fee of £250,000 to become the 621st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Forward Gary Shaw 🏴 makes his 🕒 175th appearance in a Villa shirt (173 Starts).
Centre back Brendan Ormsby 🏴 ⚽ scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on what is his first appearance for the club since October 1982 and his 🕒 47th appearance overall (43 Starts).
Centre forward Peter Withe 🏴 celebrates his 🟩 75th win in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 142nd appearance.
