ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 24 April 1962
Already missing Derek Dougan, Alan Deakin becomes a passenger from 40'. Villa fall behind midway through the second half and pushing for an equaliser throughout are caught in the final seconds on the counter to record their second defeat in four.
Joe Mercer’s Villa face Forest on successive days and have now played three times in four days. As a result, Villa make it eighteen wins, seven draws and fifteen defeats in forty Division One games this season.
