ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 7 September 1983
Tony Barton's 🏴 Villa bounce back from a first loss of the season to record a draw after being pegged back twice by Forest.
Villa take the lead before Gary Shaw 🏴 misses two penalties, one retaken, hitting in the rebound of the latter but Forest score five minutes from the end to take a share of the points as Villa stay 8th.
Villa make it 🟩 two wins, 🟨 one draw and 🟥 one defeat in 🕒 four League games so far this season.
Lining up for Forest, one Kenny Swain 🏴 of League and European Cup winning fame with Villa. A player who Herbert Douglas Ellis had moved on the previous season in order to "cut costs."
Barton's 🏴 management was effectively being carried out with one hand constantly being tied behind his back.
Right Back Gary Williams 🏴 makes his 🕒 150th appearance in a Villa shirt (145 Starts).
Centre Back Brendan Ormsby 🏴 makes his 🕒 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (46 Starts).
