ON THIS DAY
Graham Taylor’s Villa hammer Second Division Port Vale in the 4th Round of the FA Cup. Meanwhile the deeply underwhelming forward Adrian Heath made his final appearance aged 29 before moving on to Manchester City in February for a £300,000. Heath had only joined Villa 5 months earlier in August 1989 for a fee of £360,000 from RCD Espanyol and made just 12 appearances without scoring.
