ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 27 November 1937

  • Tommy Clayton scores his first goal for Villa as Villa win for the first time in five under Jimmy Hogan as they beat joint leaders Sheffield United at Villa Park.

  • What is it about Sheffield sides and on pitch thuggery though? Yet again the unseemly side of the game, whether Wednesday or United, is on show.

  • Villa bounce back from a first defeat in six to win for the first time in five and make it nine wins, four draws and four defeats in seventeen division two games under Jimmy Hogan.

🆘 A terrible mess of a performance, entering a game against a side and city renowned for its robust, often over the edge football, Taylor failed to punish the worst excesses of the Sheffield men and even went so far as awarding the visitors a free kick despite Jimmy Allen executing a inch perfect tackle in the box. That, if it was indeed a foul it should have been a penalty simply increased concerns about the official's performance. The mood, both on and off the pitch, deteriorated rapidly.
