ON THIS DAY
Monday, 15 January 1962
Villa's youngsters - with six of the team 20 or under - fall to a disappointing defeat against 19th placed United.
Joe Mercer’s Villa make it four League games without scoring and three defeats to record nine wins, six draws and ten defeats in twenty five Division One games this season.
Meanwhile, one of Villa's greatest ever players, forward Peter McParland made his final appearance for aged just 27 before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers later this month. McParland played for Villa between 1952-53 and 1961-62 making 342 appearances and scoring 120 goals winning both the 1956-57 FA Cup and 1960-61 League Cup.
