ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 9 November 1985
Villa see two first half goals disallowed for 'technical' offsides not interfering with play prompting an Andy Gray meltdown as Villa are held at Vicarage Road.
Graham Turner’s Villa make it two games unbeaten but they now have just four wins in sixteen Division One games and six defeats as Andy Gray scores only his second League goal in fourteen matches since his return to the club.
