What they Said
"Ormondroyd, a ยฃ650.000 club record signing from Bradford City, played a part in the move which led to a headed goal by Callaghan after 25 minutes."
ASTON VILLA's ยฃ1.15 million investment in Nigel Callaghan and lan Ormondroyd paid off with an important win against third from bottom Sheffield Wednesday.
Ormondroyd, a ยฃ650.000 club record signing from Bradford City, played a part in the move which led to a headed goal by Callaghan after 25 minutes.
Callaghan, back with his former Watford boss, Graham Taylor, after a ยฃ500,000 move from Derby, then delivered a 36th minute cross for a second by David Platt.
Villa's margin would have been more conclusive but for three misses by top scorer Alan Mclnally.
