ON THIS DAY
Monday, 19 December 1960
If the first game was defined by fog then the replay was all about mud. So much mud that with the full time score at 0-0 the referee declined to play the additional 30 minutes extra time as the surface was simply unplayable. Another replay beckoned to earn a place in the League Cup Quarter Finals.
Joe Mercer's Villa have to settle for a goal-less draw in the League Cup fourth round replay at Home Park ahead of a second replay - once again at second division Plymouth.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Fred Potter made his Villa debut aged 20 after joining from Cradley Heath Juniors in June 1956.
