ON THIS DAY
Following a truly wretched first few months of the season with bad results coming thick and fast and with an ageing squad ailing almost regardless of opposition, Ron Atkinson was sacked.
Ron Atkinson’s final game in charge of Villa came after the team under his stewardship had lost 8 of their last 9 Premier League fixtures to remain in 19th place of 22 teams in a season where the bottom four would be relegated to Division One.
Atkinson’s departure however was not universally welcomed and the charismatic boss still had plenty of credit left from his Premier League Runners Up achievement in 1992-93 and League Cup win in 1993-94.
Atkinson’s team however was showing its age and results were increasingly concerning making the decision of the Villa chairman one of his more understandable moves. Although a shame for his reign to end this way, Atkinson is fondly remembered.
Future Villa midfielder Øyvind Leonhardsen scored an 89’ winner for Wimbledon.
