ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 18 November 1987
Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa lose in the League Cup to first division side Sheffield Wednesday.
Thuggish first division Wednesday see the ever angry Gary Merson sent off for either his high dangerous kick at Paul Birch 🏴 or his forearm in the face of Mark Lillis 🏴 before Tony Galvin’s elbow on Andy Blair 🏴.
The ten men though score a late winner created by Galvin, who wouldn’t, if a better referee than George Courtney was in charge, have been on the pitch.
Full back Kevin Gage 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt.
Central defender Steve Sims 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt.
Midfielder Andy Blair 🏴 27 makes his 🕒 69th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Kidderminster Harriers in 1989. Blair played for Villa in two spells between 1981-82 and 1987-88 and finally left with a record of 🟩 W31 🟨 D13 🟥 L25, ⚽ 2 Goals and 🔥 10 Assists.
