ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 November 1958
  • In the first game post Eric Houghton Villa do what seemed impossible a week earlier as his former players, subject to a reshuffle but adding only new forward Ron Wylie, beat third placed Preston. Managerless Villa however remain rock bottom of the first division table.

  • Managerless Villa record their second win in eight to make it five wins, three draws and eleven defeats in nineteen division one games so far this season. 

  • Meanwhile, forward Ron Wylie made his Villa debut aged 25 after moving from Notts County earlier this month.
