On This Day
Saturday, 9 April 1983
Villa lose for the first time in seven first division games to remain 4th in the table.
Tony Barton's Villa, reigning European Champions, lose for the first time in four as referee Les Burden plays sufficient unmerited injury time to hand Luton a winner.
As a result Villa make it eighteen wins, four draws and fourteen losses in thirty six League games this season.
