ON THIS DAY
Friday, 4 April 1958
One step forward, two steps back; Villa plunge themselves back into danger with a listless display at Burnden Park and are well beaten for their troubles.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the third time in four matches to make it twelve wins, five draws and nineteen defeats in thirty six division one games.
Meanwhile, full back Les Jones made his fifth and final appearance for Villa aged 28 before moving on to Worcester City in July 1959. Jones had only joined the club in January from Luton Town.
