ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 21 February 1990
Villa toy with Tottenham at White Hart Lane winning in second gear against an increasingly frustrated Spurs side whilst Villa's ascendancy at the top of the League prompts the Birmingham Evening Mail to use their back page to tout Graham Taylor 🏴 for an England post that isn't vacant.
Villa make it fifteen first division victories in eighteen games under Graham Taylor 🏴.
Villa sit top, two points clear of Liverpool with a game in hand.
Midfielder David Platt 🏴 scores one and creates one as he contributes his 50th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 96th appearance to make it 🟩 W42 🟨 D22 🟥 L32, ⚽ 41 Goals and 🔥10 Assists at a rate of one goal involvement every 1.88 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Tony Daley 🏴 makes his 🕒 125th start in a Villa shirt (154 Appearances) to make it 🟩 W54 🟨 D38 🟥 L62, ⚽ 22 Goals and 🔥 21 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.58 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Ian Ormondroyd 🏴 scores his ⚽ 6th goal and contributes his 10th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 42nd appearance (33 Starts) to make it 🟩 W20 🟨 D7 🟥 L15, ⚽ 6 Goals and 🔥 4 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.20 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
