On This Day
Villa suffer a scarcely believable defeat to their neighbours as a former Villa reserve scores for Birmingham. Villa slump to 6th in the table as their victorious opponents prop up the foot of the table.
Tony Barton's Villa, reigning European Champions, fail to score for the ninth time this season as they suffer this shock defeat to lowly neighbours Birmingham to make it 🟩 ten wins, 🟨 a draw and 🟥 nine losses in twenty League games this season.
It's a good day for Villa reject Noel Blake however who scores bottom of the table Blues' first goal to reach the pinnacle of his career just three months after being jettisoned by the European Champions following four appearances for the club.
Goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer 🏴 34 makes his 287th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Swansea City in August 1983. Rimmer won the League title and European Cup with Villa as he cemented his reputation as one of the most legendary goalkeepers in the club's history. Rimmer left with a record of 🟩 W129 🟨 D74 🟥 L84, 🥅 312 Goals Conceded (1.09 per game) and ⛔ 96 Clean Sheets (33%)..
