Billy McNeill's 🏴 Villa 🟥 lose for the third time in 🕒 four games as they are beaten by second division Ipswich in the Full Members Cup.
Villa's winless run extends to five. Although it is only the full members cup the nature of defeat against a second tier side proves concerning.
Paul Kerr 🏴 22 makes his 35th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (23 Starts) before moving on to Middlesbrough in January 1987 for a fee of £50,000. Kerr left with a record of 🟩 W8 🟨 D12 🟥 L15 and ⚽ 6 Goals.
