ON THIS DAY
Billy McNeill's Villa lose for the ninth time in fifteen matches in all competitions, winning once, as the hated Steve Hodge - a deeply unpopular player even in a Villa shirt - gleefully sent Villa to defeat. As a result Villa now have just twelve wins in their last fifty two League games losing twenty five.
