ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 10 October 1959
Shocking luck for Villa as they draw for the third successive away game but only because 'keeper Nigel Sims is off the field when Sheffield United score their barely deserved equaliser.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to eleven but are held to a third successive draw as they make it eight wins, four draws and a defeat in thirteen division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
