ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 24 October 1987

  • Graham Taylor's Villa make it twelve games unbeaten.

  • Villa extend their unbeaten run to twelve as they climb to fourth in the second division table but are held at the Victoria Ground as tempers fray off the pitch as the Chairman once again is accused of idiotic interference in team matters.

MATCH QUOTES

"It was not our best performance but It did show that we now have 11 men totally committed to the Aston Villa cause. "There are moments when I ask myself; 'What the hell have I done? "I haven't come here to be taught which players to buy." Graham Taylor.
