On This Day
Tony Barton 🏴 extends Villa's unbeaten run to three League games and 🟩 two wins to climb to 12th in the table for the first time since October as Villa fly out for their quarter final European Cup tie in the Crimea.
Villa makes it 🟩 eight wins, 🟨 nine draws and 🟥 ten defeats after 🕒 27 games of their title defence.
Right back Mark Jones 🏴 20 makes his debut appearance in a Villa shirt after graduating from the youth set up to become the 617th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Centre forward Peter Withe 🏴 makes his 🕒 75th appearance in a Villa shirt.
What they Said
"The doctor told me that if I want to play I can, because I won't do the shoulder any more harm.
“But he also said I would face a big pain barrier.
"I had treatment last night and today and I'll probably have more on the plane [to the Crimea]. With a painkilling injection I'm hopeful of getting through."
"His [Garry Thompson’s] foot didn't connect. I did the damage when I fell. I don't hold any grudges. We had both been dishing out some stick."
Allan Evans.
"The performance was a 'continuation of our improved confidence and ensures that the players are in the right frame of mind for the European Cup.
"It [Allan Evans’ shoulder] is badly bruised and very sore and tender. “
We started treatment on it on Saturday night and it will be a last minute decision whether he plays.
”The specialist says it will not do him any permanent damage if he does play and Allan himself is keen to have a go.
“He was back at the ground at 9 p.m. on Saturday night, making sure the physio could get started on it."
Tony Barton.
