ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 16 January 1988

  • An early Martin Keown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 strike is enough to secure Villa the points as a strong rearguard action and a Gary Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 cameo on his final appearance keeps Villa clear at the top of the table.

  • Graham Taylor's 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Villa have now 🟥 lost just once in twenty three Division Two games, 🟩 winning fourteen. 

  • League and European Cup winning Villa forward Gary Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 26 makes his 212th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to BK Frem Copenhagen in May 1988. Shaw played for Villa between 1978 and 1988 leaving with a record of 🟩 W98 🟨 D46 🟥 L68, ⚽ 79 Goals & 🔥 22 Assists. Sadly injuries had stalled Shaw's career however as he made just 18 appearances over his final four seasons with the club. 

  • Villa now boasted just one player who had won the title seven years earlier - defender Allan Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

  • Centre forward Garry Thompson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 makes his 🕒 50th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it 🟩 W16 🟨 D15  🟥 L19, ⚽ 14 Goals and 🔥 7 Assists at a rate of one goal involvement for every 2.38 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
