ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 8 September 1987
Villa follow their first win of the campaign with defeat to old Villa boy Bruce Rioch's Boro side who win courtesy of a second half strike from another former Villan, Paul Kerr. Villa sit 18th in the second division after 6 games.
Graham Taylor's Villa now have one win in their first six second tier games as an automatic return to the first division looks a long way off.
