ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 20 November 1985
Graham Turner’s 🏴 Villa can only 🟨 draw at home in the League Cup with bottom of the table Albion.
Simon Stainrod 🏴 scores his ⚽ 10th goal in twelve games as Villa come back from two goals down against the run of play to earn a replay at the Hawthorns in the 4th round of the League Cup.
Colin Gibson 🏴 25 makes his 238th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (233 Starts) before moving on to Manchester United later this month for a fee of £275,000. Gibson left with a record of 🟩 W111 🟨 D50 🟥 L77, ⚽ 17 Goals and 🔥 17 Assists.
Gibson 🏴 was the eleventh member of the fourteen man League title winning squad that had now been sold under Chairman Herbert Doug Ellis’ ridiculous & counter-productive purge.
following on from Kenny Swain 🏴, Ken McNaught 🏴, Jimmy Rimmer 🏴, David Geddis 🏴, Tony Morley 🏴, Eamonn Deacy 🇮🇪, Des Bremner 🏴, Dennis Mortimer 🏴, Gordon Cowans 🏴 and Peter Withe 🏴.
Right Back Gary Williams 🏴 makes his 250th start in a Villa shirt (255 Appearances).
