ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 April 1962
Villa, Tommy Ewing and Derek Dougan continue their late season form to beat Bolton and climb to 6th in the table. Meanwhile, referee Ken Aston gets over-excited and books three for one incident.
Joe Mercer’s Villa extend their League winning form to seven in the last ten as they make it successive wins, scoring eight goals, to record sixteen wins, seven draws and thirteen defeats in thirty six Division One games this season.
