🕒 | FT Luton Town 3-1 Aston Villa

On This Day

  • Villa make it two defeats from two in all competitions as questions are asked once again and suspicion abounds.

  • Villa’s earliest entry into the League Cup ever and consequently their earliest ever exit from the competition since its inauguration in 1960.

  • Mark Bunn concedes his 25th goal in a Villa shirt on his 13th appearance to make it W3 D4 L6, 25 Goals Conceded, 4 Clean Sheets and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Ross McCormack collects his first booking in a Villa shirt on his 2nd appearance to make it W0 D0 L2, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

  • Despite having refused to play for Villa again just 5 months earlier, troublesome centre back Jores Okore makes his 47th and final appearance for Villa (43 Starts) aged 24 before moving on to FC Copenhagen on a free transfer later this month. Villa had paid FC Nordsjaelland £4,230,000 for Okore’s services in July 2013 and following a controversy and injury ravaged spell across his 3 seasons with the club left with a record of W13 D11 L23, 1 Goal, 8 Bookings and 1 Own Goal. Okore's own goal came on what would prove to be his final appearance, with an easily avoidable error, that led to incredulity from his teammates during the match amd that attracted comment during and after the game as Villa fell to lower league opposition seemingly without a fight. Okore would later be accused of match fixing at Aalborg Boldspilklub.

  • Jordan Ayew suffers his 25th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 38th appearance (32 Starts) to make it W5 D8 L25, 8 Goals, 8 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

On This Day

  • Villa secure their fifth away draw of the season on the horrendous Kenilworth Road plastic pitch the pathetic result of the interference of Thatcher, Colin Moynihan and David Evans in a century old game they are simply incapable of understanding. With no shortage of irony a 25 yard own goal from an uncontrolled clearance gifts Villa their equaliser.

  • Graham Taylor's Villa make it three games unbeaten in the League and had now lost just six of the last twenty seven, winning eleven and drawing ten. Yet they fell to 15th in the table.

On This Day

  • Villa lose their penultimate game of the season as they are beaten at Villa Park by Luton.

  • Villa fail to score for the seventeenth time this season and make it fourteen wins in forty one League games, losing fifteen under Graham Turner.

  • Gordon Cowans, 26, becomes the latest player forced out of the club by Chairman Herbert Douglas Ellis as he makes his 357th and final appearance of his first spell with Villa before joining Bari in July for a fee of £500,000. 

  • Cowans is the ninth member of the fourteen man League title winning squad that has now been sold by the Herbert Douglas Ellis regime. Cowans played for Villa between 1975-76 and 1984-85 and his departure followed those of Kenny Swain, Ken McNaught, Jimmy Rimmer, David Geddis. Tony Morley, Eamonn Deacy, Des Bremner and Dennis Mortimer.

On This Day

  • The crass stupidity of the Ellis / Turner regime is laid bare as Steve Foster - a player needlessly ostracised by Turner - lines up against and beats his former club just one month after leaving for a fee half the size of the purchase price paid six months before. Villa slump to 18th in the table.

  • Graham Turner's Villa fail to win for the ninth time in ten games to make it five wins in eighteen League games, whilst losing eight. 

  • Meanwhile, Steve Foster, jettisoned by Turner, lines up for the victorious Hatters and provides yet another glaring example of the folly of Villa in 1984-85 under Ellis and his new manager.
