Aston Villa 3 West Bromwich Albion 3 - Bradford Disaster Fundraiser - 17th May 1985

Manchester United legend donned the claret and blue for 1985 charity match against West Bromwich Albion. The appearance was a fundraiser hurriedly scheduled following the Bradford City stadium blaze on May 11, 1985, which killed 56 people and injured 265. After a tame first 45 minutes, fans were treated to something of a goal-fest in the second half. McMahon and Evans put Villa 2-0 up before Steve Mackenzie and Tony Grealish levelled matters. Gary Thompson put the Baggies ahead, but Didier Six earned the home side a 3-3 draw. Best played 60 minutes
