ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 19 August 1950
Following the departure of manager Alex Massie from his position in August 1950, the Villa board decided to turn the clock back 20 years and assemble a management committee to take care of first team duties whilst the search apparently went on for a permanent manager.
Despite the bizarre management committee structure and uncertainty behind the scenes Villa open the season with a win over near neighbours Albion thanks to goals from Johnny Dixon & Colin Gibson.
