BACK PAGE: 1987

CHELSEA were given the cold shoulder again when Aston Villa’s Tony Dorigo became the 10th player to reject a move to Stamford Bridge.

A partexchange deal worth £750,000 that would have taken Chelsea’s Scottish striker David Speedie to Villa Park collapsed when Dorigo failed to agree personal terms.

But there was cheer for the Blues when Kerry Dixon scored and was outstanding as the Blues hammered Oxford 4-0.
