ON THIS DAY
Graham Turner’s Villa lose successive League games and continue their woeful form to leave them with just five wins in thirty Division One games and fifteen defeats. Meanwhile, Darren Bradley played his final game for Villa aged just 20 before moving on to West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £90,000 later this month. Bradley had played for Villa in 1984-85 and 1985-86 making 23 appearances.
