On This Day
Villa are held at the Hawthorns in the 107th Villa-Albion game. It's a game they should have won as Dennis Mortimer runs the game and debutant Gary Shaw runs the home team ragged. Villa are pegged back by a questionable first half penalty only to then have a late penalty for a foul on Shaw refused.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it six wins, six draws and five defeats in seventeen division one games this season.
What they Said
“I was pleased with my youngsters.
“Young Shaw showed tremendous skill and spirit.”
Ron Saunders.
