TEAM NEWS
Tony Barton shocks by giving a start to Robert Hopkins (first since March 1980) in what unsurprisingly will prove to be the underwhelming Hopkins' last game, and which will add a chink to the Barton armour just months after winning the European Cup. In addition, Allan Evans, Pat Heard and replace Brendan Ormsby, Ken McNaught and Tony Morley.
Funny story.. Robert Hopkins still talks of the few games he played for Villa and how he was always intent on leaving the League and European Champions for lower league football. Bless. To be fair though, no one would have a clue who on earth he was otherwise.
