ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 16 November 1957

Eric Houghton's Villa hold Tottenham to make it five wins, three draws and ten defeats in eighteen division one games this season. The game however was most notable for tragedy as goalkeeper Arthur Sabin made his second and final Villa appearance aged just 18. Arthur, seen as a natural successor to Nigel Sims, would tragically pass away, aged 19, in March 1958 due to kidney disease. Also making their final appearance was winger Ken Roberts before being forced to retire due to injury aged just 21. Roberts played for Villa between 1953-54 and 1957-58 making 39 appearances and scoring 4 goals.
