ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 23 August 1986
Villa are hammered at home on the opening day of the season but Graham Turner 🏴assures us there is nothing to panic about.
Graham Turner's 🏴 Villa open the season with a heavy defeat to Tottenham and have now 🟩 won just six of their last twenty eight league games, 🟥 losing thirteen.
Centre forward Garry Thompson 🏴 makes his debut in a Villa shirt aged 26 after joining from Sheffield Wednesday for a fee of £450,000 in June 1986 to become the 637th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
