ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 May 1990
Graham Taylor’s Villa end the season with a second successive three-all draw to finish second, nine points behind eventual title winners Liverpool. The match however will long be remembered for the huge celebrations at Goodison Park as Villa’s fans and players gathered to thank one another and to wish outgoing boss Graham Taylor well in what would prove his final game before his move to the role of England manager. Taylor had brought smiles and belief back to Villa and laid the foundations for the next two decades. To this day the song ‘Spinksy and Birchy, Alan McInallyyyy’ resonates wherever Villa play in testament to the players Graham Taylor brought to the club and nurtured to new heights in his all too short reign of three seasons and 150 games. Sadly for Taylor he would never again achieve such success, including his return to Villa in the 2000s, but he will always be fondly remembered for his time with Villa between 1987 and 1990.
