ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 11 September 1948

  • Villa's horrible run of results continues as they lose for the fifth time in six under Alex Massie. It's penalty woe for the second game in succession as referee Taylor awards a very questionable spot kick to gift the hosts the lead after just 14'.

  • Villa reacted with all the play and all the opportunites only for Arsenal to double their lead on the stroke of half time with a rare attack.

  • Referee Taylor then wrapped up the points for the home side - awarding them his second penalty of the game.

  • Although luck and decisions are going against them nothing can hide the fact that Villa remain joint bottom of the table after 7 games in 1948-49.

  • Midfielder Larry Canning, 22, makes his Villa debut after joining from Paget Rangers in December 1943. 

  • Forward Jackie Martin, 34, makes the last of his 91 appearances for Villa during which time he scored 22 goals before retiring from football.
