ON THIS DAY
Thursday, 1 January 1953
Villa are selected to play away from home on New Years Day for the 21st time in the 23 fixtures they have played on 1st January.
Villa had played their first New Years Day fixture in January 1891 and have now played just two home games on 1st January in 62 years.
Villa & Sunderland meet for the 100th time in League football.
Villa get no luck at Roker Park after they are forced to play over an hour with 10 men following Dicky Dorsett's first half head injury and then with just 50 seconds left on the clock Sunderland hit an undeserved last gasp equaliser.
George Martin's Villa open 1953 with a second successive draw and are now without a win in seven as they make it six wins, seven draws and nine defeats in twenty two division one games so far this season.
