ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 April 1985
Graham Turner's Villa lose for the third successive match and fail to score for the sixteenth time this season to make it twelve wins in thirty seven League games, whilst losing fourteen.
Villa lose a third consecutive League game after Graham Turner decides to give Gordon Cowans and Steve McMahon "the day off". As curious as that is it opens the opportunity for a 17 year old winger named Tony Daley to make his debut.
Despite the about turn in form - five defeats and seven wins in their last fifteen League games - Villa remain 10th.
Winger Tony Daley, 17, makes his Villa debut after coming through the Youth ranks to become the 633rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
