ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 February 1931
Villa take an early lead at Leeds Road just like they had 6 years to the day previously but this time rather than shipping three goals in the second half they score 5, 4 coming in 17 minutes as Huddersfield are mercilessly ripped apart.
Pongo Waring scored his THIRTY FOURTH goal in twenty seven games as Villa extend their unbeaten run to four, winning three, to make it fifteen wins, eight draws and six defeats in their twenty nine division one games having scored NINETY goals.
The latest goalscoring feat of a remarkable period also saw Eric Houghton score his 22nd of the campaign and Waring becoming the first Villa player to score more than 32 league goals in a season beating Len Capewell’s previous record haul set in 1925-26.
