ON THIS DAY
Graham Turner’s Villa can only draw at home in the League Cup with bottom of the table Albion.
Meanwhile, Colin Gibson made his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Manchester United later this month for a fee of £275,000.
Gibson played for Villa between 1978-79 and 1985-86 making 239 appearances and scoring 17 goals.
