ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 25 September 1948
George Edwards scores for the fourth successive game buy Villa, without a win in 9 games since the opening day of the season, lose for the seventh time in nine.
The opposition's ascent to victory begins with yet another penalty awarded against Villa.
Villa then have the balance of play in the second half but find themselves on the end of yet another rough decision as referee Thompson allows a goal despite a foul in the build up that incenses Trevor Ford to such a degree that the ball is launched from his boot with such anger that they're probably still looking for it in Didsbury.
Villa slump to the foot of the table as Everton win for the second time this season beating fellow strugglers Preston.
Forward John Graham makes his fifteenth and final appearance for Villa aged 22 before moving on to Wrexham in June 1949.
