ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 6 May 1989
Villa 🟥 lose successive games to leave them 14th in the table but still on 39 points and still only three clear of the relegation places with one to play.
With a superior goal difference Villa cannot realistically go down as they face a Coventry side who have never won at Villa Park. But technically, in a very tight First Division, any one of five clubs - including Villa - could be relegated on the final day of the season.
Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa lose despite David Platt 🏴 opening the scoring at the Baseball Ground and
Defender Darry Duffy 🏴 18 makes his 🕒 sole appearance for Villa after joining from school football in March 1985 to become the 661st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football. Duffy would move on to Moor Green in February 1993.
Midfielder Mark Lillis 🏴 29 makes his 🕒 38th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Scunthorpe United 🏴 in September 1989 for a fee of £40,000. Lillis played for Villa in 1987-88 and 1988-89 following his £130,000 move from Derby 🏴 and left with a record of 🟩 W8 🟨 D7 🟥 L11, ⚽ 4 Goals and 🔥 2 Assists.
Midfielder David Hunt 🏴 30 makes his 🕒 15th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Mansfield in June 1988. Hunt played for Villa in 1987-88 and 1988-89 following his move from Notts County and left with a record of 🟩 W6 🟨 D5 🟥 L4, ⚽ 0 Goals and 🔥 0 Assists.
