ON THIS DAY
Tony Barton's Villa open the season with a thriller against Albion as Steve McMahon made his Villa debut aged 22 after moving from Everton in May 1983 for a fee of £250,000. Lining up for Albion is one Ken McNaught, another League and European Cup winning victim of Herbert Douglas Ellis' thirst for dismantling Tony Barton's squad.
