ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 6 October 1984

  • Villa secure victory over Manchester United as Didier Six 🇫🇷 makes a promising debut to send Villa back to 10th in the table.

  • As a result Villa make it 🟩 four wins in 🕒 nine League games, whilst 🟥 losing four. 

  • But all is not well behind the scenes as Graham Turner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 falls out with another player, this time centre back and recent signing Steve Foster 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, having already told League and European Cup winners Des Bremner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and Dennis Mortimer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 that they can no longer perform in the first division.

  • Unsurprisingly the number of transfer requests from players disillusioned with life under Ellis and Turner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 reaches epic proportions as the utter mismanagement of the club continues unabated.

  • Didier Six 🇫🇷 30 makes his debut appearance in a Villa shirt after joining from French club Mulhouse FC 🇫🇷 in September to become the 629th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

  • Six 🇫🇷 becomes the first Frenchman 🇫🇷 to play for the club.

  • Goalkeeper Mervyn Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 keeps his first ⛔ clean sheet in 9 games - his longest run without one and now has ⛔ 6 across his 🕒 24 appearances in a Villa shirt.
