On This Day
  • Villa ๐ŸŸฅ 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 ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa lose despite David Platt ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ opening the scoring at the Baseball Ground and

  • Midfielder Mark Lillis ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ 29 makes his ๐Ÿ•’ 38th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Scunthorpe United ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ in September 1989 for a fee of ยฃ40,000. Lillis played for Villa in 1987-88 and 1988-89 following his ยฃ130,000 move from Derby ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ and left with a record of ๐ŸŸฉ W8 ๐ŸŸจ D7 ๐ŸŸฅ L11, โšฝ 4 Goals and ๐Ÿ”ฅ 2 Assists.

  • Midfielder David Hunt ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ 30 makes his ๐Ÿ•’ 15th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Mansfield in June 1988.
