On This Day

Graham Taylor's Villa secure a goal-less draw at the County Ground to earn promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt. The Second Division Championship was however beyond them as a run of one defeat in twenty five was followed by six defeats in thirteen that let the title slip. Meanwhile, forward Warren Aspinall made his final appearance for Villa aged just 20 before moving on to recently relegated Portsmouth in August 1988 for a fee of £350,000. Aspinall played for Villa in 1986-87 and 1987-88 making 50 appearances and scoring 16 goals after joining from Everton in February 1987 for a fee of £350,000.

On This Day

  • Graham Taylor's Villa have now lost just once in sixteen Division Two games, winning ten.

  • Garry Thompson scores his fourth in three games as he benefits from the burgeoning relationship being built between new signing Andy Gray and Warren Aspinall, as the former's forward thinking passing enables the winger to make angled runs into the penalty area of panicked opposition.
