On This Day

Graham Taylor's Villa have now lost just once in twenty three Division Two games, winning fourteen. Meanwhile, League and European Cup winning Villa forward Gary Shaw made his final appearance aged just 26 before moving on to BK Frem Copenhagen in May 1988. Shaw played for Villa between 1978-79 and 1987-88 making 210 appearances and scoring 68 goals. Injuries had stalled Shaw's career however as he made just 18 appearances over his final four seasons with the club. Villa now boasted just one player who had won the title seven years earlier - defender Allan Evans.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Graham Taylor's Villa lose for the second consecutive game despite David Platt opening the scoring at the Baseball Ground and find themselves in a precarious position one point off the drop zone with a game to play in a very tight First Division where any one of five clubs - including Villa - could be relegated on the final day of the season. Meanwhile, Darry Duffy made his one and only appearance for Villa aged 18 after joining from school football in March 1985 before moving on to Moor Green in February 1993. Midfielder Mark Lillis made his final Villa appearance aged 29 before moving on to Scunthorpe United in September 1989 for a fee of £40,000. Lillis played for Villa in 1987-88 and 1988-89 making 37 appearances and scoring 4 goals. Midfielder David Hunt made his final appearance for Villa aged 30 before moving on to Mansfield in June 1988. Hunt played for Villa in 1987-88 and 1988-89 making 15 appearances.
