ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 6 December 1958
Managerless Villa secure a draw to make five wins, four draws and twelve defeats in twenty one division one games so far this season.
Villa take a point off fellow strugglers Manchester City but remain bottom of the pile as the search for a new manager to replace Eric Houghton is delayed once again.
