ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 6 October 1951
  • Villa go 0-3 down after 31' at the Victoria Ground against roick bottom Stoke on their way to a third defeat in four games but despite that statistic it is another game in which Villa have had far more possession and attacking play than the rudimnetary opposition but find themselves pointless.

  • Villa drop to joint 4th as their poor run of results continues.
