On This Day

  • Ravaged by their injury list and another woeful refereeing performance, Villa's difficult start to the season on and off the pitch continues as they are well beaten by Palace to leave them nineteenth in the table.

  • Villa lose for the second successive game and fail to score for the third consecutive match to make it one win, two draws and three defeats in six League matches this season under Ron Saunders.

  • Mike Pejic, 29, makes his Villa debut after joining from Everton for a fee of ยฃ225,000 earlier this month. 

  • Forward Joe Ward, 24, makes his 3rd and final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving to Hibernian later this month in a swap deal that brought Des Bremner to the club. 

  • Centre Forward John Deehan, 22, makes a shock final appearance in a Villa shirt ahead of an unexpected move to West Bromwich Albion later this month for a fee of ยฃ500,000. Deehan had played for Villa between 1975-76 and 1979-80 making 139 appearances and scoring 50 goals.

  • Gordon Cowans makes his 100th start in a Villa shirt (115 Appearances) to make it W49 D30 L36, 15 Goals and 10 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.60 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
