Attendance: 12,205

On This Day
  • A diabolical performance against second tier Millwall that is either due to incompetence, indifference or maybe both as patience finally breaks and the charlatans masquerading as chairman and manager face the fans' ire. 

  • Graham Turnerโ€™s Villa can only draw with second division side Millwall in the FA Cup fourth round.
