ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 3 December 1983
Tony Barton's Villa beat high-flying West Ham courtesy of a strike by 19 year old Paul Rideout, as a result Villa make it eight wins, three draws and five defeats in sixteen League games this season as they climb back to 8th in the table.
Paul Rideout scores his second goal for the club as Villa record a narrow win over second placed West Ham to climb back to seventh in the table.
Meanwhile, Tony Morley made his last appearance for Villa aged 29 before moving on to West Bromwich Albion later this month for a fee of £75,000. Morley played for Villa between 1979-80 and 1983-84 making 180 appearances and scoring 29 goals winning the league title, and the European Cup. Morley became the fifth player from the 14 man League winning squad to be sold within just 18 months of the team being crowned Champions of Europe.
🟩 3 December 1983, Villa 1-0 West Ham, Villa Park.
