ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 19 April 1961
A subdued Villa lose the first half to Leicester and consequently the game despite a significantly improved second half performance. Meanwhile, the referee takes 20 minutes off from his duties as he suffers from stomach cramps.
Joe Mercer's Villa's severe fixture congestion continues as they play their ninth game in twenty six days to make it sixteen wins, nine draws and fifteen defeats in forty games following their return to the top flight.
Meanwhile, forward Alfie Hale made a goalscoring debut for Villa aged 21 after joining from Waterford United for a fee of £4,500 in June 1960.
