ON THIS DAY

Meanwhile, Steve Hodge made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £650,000. Villa had paid Nottingham Forest £400,000 for Hodge's services 16 months earlier and he played for Villa in 1985-86 and 1986-87 making 69 appearances and scoring 16 goals.
