Midfielder Terry Bullivant 🏴 25 makes his 🕒 14th & final appearance in a Villa shirt (11 Starts) before moving on to Charlton Athletic in July for a fee of £90,000. Bullivant made 7 appearances in 1979-80 before not being selected for 21 months. Bullivant returned to the first team set up for a further 7 appearances in 1981-82 and left with a record of 🟩 W4 🟨 D2 🟥 L8.
Left back Pat Heard 🏴 scores his ⚽ first goal in a Villa shirt and creates an 🔥 assist for the second successive game on his 🕒 11th appearance.
