ON THIS DAY
Monday, 29 August 1955
It's the start of the season and Villa have already played 4 games in 9 days and two in 48 hours.
Unsurprisingly in that crazy schedule form is difficult to come by but injuries aren't as Vic Crowe, Johnny Dixon and Tommy Southren are all unfit to play.
Eric Houghton's Villa suffer a heavy defeat to Sunderland for the second time in three matches and now have one win, one draw and two defeats in four Division One games this season.
