ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 December 1927
Joe Beresford scores a hat-trick whilst Billy Cook hits his seventeenth in as many games but Dicky York is the star of the show as he creates four.
Villa record a first win in four in a remarkable Christmas Eve goal-fest at Villa Park to make it eight wins, four draws and eight defeats in their twenty division one games.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Joe Hickman made his Villa debut aged 26 after joining from Hartlepool United earlier this month.
