ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 3 April 1956
Villa secure a second successive goalless draw against Wolves on successive days but it is barely enough to prevent a seemingly inevitable relegation under Eric Houghton.
Up next is bottom three side Tottenham in a must win game.
Villa make it eight wins, thirteen draws and seventeen defeats in thirty eight division one games this season.
