On This Day
Graham Taylor's Villa make it twelve games unbeaten.
Villa extend their unbeaten run to twelve as they climb to fourth in the second division table but are held at the Victoria Ground as tempers fray off the pitch as the Chairman once again is accused of idiotic interference in team matters.
