On This Day
Villa secure victory over Manchester United as Didier Six ๐ซ๐ท makes a promising debut to send Villa back to 10th in the table.
As a result Villa make it ๐ฉ four wins in ๐ nine League games, whilst ๐ฅ losing four.
But all is not well behind the scenes as Graham Turner ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ falls out with another player, this time centre back and recent signing Steve Foster ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, having already told League and European Cup winners Des Bremner ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ and Dennis Mortimer ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ that they can no longer perform in the first division.
Unsurprisingly the number of transfer requests from players disillusioned with life under Ellis and Turner ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ reaches epic proportions as the utter mismanagement of the club continues unabated.
Didier Six ๐ซ๐ท 30 makes his debut appearance in a Villa shirt after joining from French club Mulhouse FC ๐ซ๐ท in September to become the 629th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Six ๐ซ๐ท becomes the first Frenchman ๐ซ๐ท to play for the club.
Goalkeeper Mervyn Day ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ keeps his first โ clean sheet in 9 games - his longest run without one and now has โ 6 across his ๐ 24 appearances in a Villa shirt.
