ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 1 December 1984

  • Villa win for the first time in ten as Steve McMahon bosses the game from start to finish yet despite Graham Turner's denials that his 16th placed side is now full on asset stripping the word is "so the Villa talk goes, Steve McMahon has been made available for £300,000".

  • Graham Turner's Villa win for the first time in nine games to make it five wins in seventeen League games, whilst losing seven. Paul Rideout, another player unhappy with the direction of the club under Ellis and Turner, scores a late winner just days after coming off the transfer list.
