ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 1 January 1985
Villa secure a much needed 🟩 third win in 🕒 seven first division games as Albion are well beaten to allow Villa to climb to 16th in the table but they suffer more late woe with captain Allan Evans being carried off unconscious after 84’ with a fractured cheekbone.
Graham Turner's 🏴 Villa open 1985 with their first 🟩 win in three to make it 🟩 six wins in 🕒 twenty three League games, whilst 🟥 losing nine.
Colin Gibson 🏴 scores his ⚽ 10th goal in 🕒 65 matches, having scored ⚽ three in his first 🕒 144 appearances in a Villa shirt.
