ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 22 August 1953

  • Villa remain without a manager 9 days after the sacking of George Martin with Eric Houghton, who is assumed to be the man to replace Martin still working at Notts County,

  • Johnny Dixon scores but Villa lose their second game of the season to a Cardiff side led by Villa old boy Cyril Spiers.

  • Managerless Villa lose their opening two games of the season as already there are concerns about the direction the campaign is heading.
