ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 December 1985
Villa's first half display warrants more but they are left well beaten in the second half to leave them winless in five League games under Graham Turner 🏴 and 16th in the table.
Villa lose for the third consecutive League game and now have just four wins in twenty Division One games and nine defeats under Turner.
Centre back Paul Elliott 21 🏴 makes his debut appearance in a Villa shirt following his move from Luton Town earlier this month for a fee of £400,000 to become the 636th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
