ON THIS DAY
Brian Little - one of Villa’s greatest ever players - took charge of the team for the first time in his new role as Villa boss.
Little had left the manager position at Leicester City to return to his club - a fact the East Midlands side did not take kindly to, setting up a new and long-lasting animosity between the sides.
Future Villa midfielder Ian Taylor made a 81’ substitute appearance for Wednesday.
