ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 8 October 1988
Graham Taylor's Villa lose and fail to score for the second successive match and drop to 17th in the table.
Villa slump to successive defeats after their six game unbeaten start as a late Wimbledon goal condemns them to 17th in the table after seven games,
Wimbledon take the lead with a late late strike but Villa still have the time and opportunity to equalise but a combination of luck and positioning saves the Dons.
Garry Thompson makes his final appearance for Villa aged 29 before moving to Watford later this month for a fee of £350,000. Thompson played for Villa between 1986-87 and 1988-89 making 70 appearances and scoring 18 goals after signing him from Sheffield Wednesday for £450,000 in June 1986.
