ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 27 September 1986
Billy McNeill takes charge of Villa for the first time in the first division with the club having won just seven of their last thirty four league games losing eighteen.
McNeill oversees a draw at 5th placed Liverpool prompting both relief and hope that the end of a torrid spell is near.
Villa take the lead three times at Anfield only to be pegged back with a helping hand from the referee and a painful late equaliser from old boy Steve McMahon.
