ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 15 October 1983
Thuggish Birmingham resort to fists and butts as they are widely condemned for their "disgraceful' behaviour, meanwhile Villa claim another three points to climb back to 8th in table.
A typically embarrassing performance from Small Heath sees the yobbish protagonists being led by two players who couldn't make the grade at Villa. The toe curlingly embarrassing Robert Hopkins and Noel Blake simply highlighted the gulf in class between the two clubs on and off the pitch.
Tony Barton's 🏴 Villa make it 🟩 five wins, 🟨 one draw and 🟥 three defeats in 🕒 nine League games as Peter Withe's 🏴 ⚽ eighth of the season dispatches near neighbours Birmingham at Villa Park.
Colin Gibson 🏴 is 🟥 sent off for the second time in his Villa career on his 🕒 157th appearance.
Midfielder Des Bremner 🏴 makes his 🕒 200th appearance in a Villa shirt but for the third time in 🕒 6 games it is from the 🔁 substitutes bench.
🟩 15 October 1983, Villa 1-0 Birmingham, Villa Park.
