Billy McNeill's Villa stop a run of four consecutive defeats as they secure a creditable draw with Championship chasing, and second placed, Liverpool. Villa however now had just twelve wins in their last fifty five League games losing twenty seven. As a result Villa fell to 22nd and bottom of the table, four points off safety and four points off the relegation play off place with fourteen games left to play. Meanwhile, Warren Aspinall made his Villa debut aged 19 after moving from Everton earlier this month for a fee of £350,000.

Billy McNeill's Villa lose for the third time in four games and now have fourteen wins in their last sixty seven League games losing thirty two. As a result Villa fall back to the bottom of the table, six points off safety and four points off the relegation play off place with two games to play and six points available. Mathematically it is still possible for Villa to survive but they will need two high scoring wins and their rivals Leicester and Oxford to lose their remaining matches.

On This Day

Billy McNeill's Villa lose for the fourth time in five games and now have fourteen wins in their last sixty eight League games losing thirty three. As a result Villa remain bottom of the table, nine points off safety and five points off the relegation play off place with one game to play and three points available. With relegation confirmed, Billy McNeill leaves his post after just forty two games having won just three in thirty one and losing seventeen. Meanwhile, the indefensible and utterly culpable Herbert Douglas Ellis, who had led Villa from the Champions of Europe to the second tier in just five seasons, decides now was the right point to scream: "It's time for action." Because of Ellis' continued folly, Villa would play in the second tier in 1987-88 and would do so with a new manager and without their better players as League and European Cup winning defender Gary Williams made his final appearance for Villa aged 26 before moving on to Leeds United in July 1987 for a fee of £250,000. Williams had played for Villa between 1978-79 and 1986-87 making 301 appearances and scoring twice. Also leaving would be centre back Paul Elliott who made his final appearance for Villa aged just 23 before moving on to Pisa in July 1987 for a fee of £400,000. Villa had signed Elliott just 18 months earlier for the same fee from Luton Town. Elliott played for Villa in 1985-86 and 1986-87 making 68 appearances and scoring 7 times. And goalkeeper Kevin Poole who made his final appearance for Villa aged 23 before moving on to Middlesbrough in August 1987 for a fee of £50,000. Poole played for Villa between 1984-85 and 1986-87 making 33 appearances.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa finished this most wretched of seasons relegated having won just three times in thirty two games, losing eighteen . Chairman Herbert Doug Ellis’ predictably disastrous policy of gutting the League and European Cup winning team and replacing it with lesser talents; his sale of players who performed well even in this fallow period; and his poor selection of managers, saw Villa fall to inevitable and all too predictable relegation to the second tier just five seasons after being crowned Champions of Europe. If anything summed this up any better it is hard to think than a record of fourteen wins in last sixty nine League games losing thirty three under Ellis’ men Graham Turner and Billy McNeill. In brighter news, left back Bernie Gallacher made his Villa debut aged 20 after joining from Perthshire County Schools (Paisley Boys) in March 1985. Whilst, midfielder Stuart Ritchie made his sole appearance for Villa as a substitute aged 18 after joining from Hampshire County Schools in May 1986. Ritchie left for Crewe Alexandra in June 1987. However Villa would face life in the second tier without left back Tony Dorigo who made his final appearance for Villa aged just 21 before being sold to Chelsea for a fee of £475,000. Dorigo had played for Villa between 1983-84 and 1986-87 making 133 appearances and scoring once. Centre forward Andy Gray made his final Villa appearance aged 31 before being sold to West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £8,000. Villa had bought Gray for his second spell with Villa two years earlier for a fee of £150,000. Gray played for Villa in two spells between 1975-76 and 1986-87 making 251 appearances and scoring 84 goals. Midfielder Phil Robinson made his final appearance for Villa aged 20 before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £5,000 in July 1987. Robinson had made his debut for Villa in the 1986-87 season and made 3 appearances, scoring once. Defender Dean Glover made his final appearance for Villa aged 23 before moving on to Middlesbrough for a fee of £50,000 in June 1987. Glover had played for Villa between 1983-84 and 1986-87 making 38 appearances and scoring twice.

On This Day

Graham Taylor took change of Villa for the first time, after leaving First Division Watford - a team he had taken to ninth in the top flight the previous season - to take over freshly relegated and poorly resourced Villa. Taylor embarked on a major restructure of the club to remedy the multiple poor decisions on and off the pitch since Chairman Herbert Douglas Ellis took over the club after the European Cup triumph in 1982. Right back Kevin Gage made his Villa debut aged 23 after moving from Wimbledon in July 1987 for a fee of £110,000. Central defender Steve Sims made his Villa debut aged 30 after joining from Watford in June 1987 for a fee of £50,000. Midfielder David Hunt made his debut for Villa aged 28 after moving from Notts County in June 1987.

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.
