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. As a result 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.
