5-1 thriller misses out on top spot in five greatest Aston Villa wins v Birmingham
1. Villa 3-0 Blues, 1980
In the early 1980s, West Midlands football perhaps enjoyed some of it’s greatest success in around 30 years.
Villa, Blues, West Brom, Wolves and Coventry were all in the top-flight for the 1980/81 season as Aston Villa won their seventh league title and qualified for their historic European Cup campaign for the next season.
During their way to the league title they absolutely hammered Birmingham 3-0 at Villa Park.
David Geddis scored twice before Gary Shaw rounded off the routine win.
