ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 April 1961
Villa might as well have not turned up at Maine Road as they suffer the embarrassment of defeat to still relegation threatened Manchester City and the season looks like it is going to end on a sour note.
Joe Mercer's Villa's play their tenth game in twenty nine days to make it sixteen wins, nine draws and sixteen defeats in forty one games following their return to the top flight.
