Sunday, 5 February 1989

ASTON VILLA's £1.15 million investment in Nigel Callaghan and lan Ormondroyd paid off with an important win against third from bottom Sheffield Wednesday. Ormondroyd, a £650.000 club record signing from Bradford City, played a part in the move which led to a headed goal by Callaghan after 25 minutes. Callaghan, back with his former Watford boss, Graham Taylor, after a £500,000 move from Derby, then delivered a 36th minute cross for a second by David Platt. Villa's margin would have been more conclusive but for three misses by top scorer Alan Mclnally.
