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.
