ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 August 1963
Villa open the 1963-64 season with a rare win at the City Ground - their first since 1937.
Joe Mercer's Villa open the season with a debut goal from new signing Tony Hateley and a welcome win after a difficult final three months of 1962-63 as Villa lost 13 in 19 including nine successive defeats to finish 15th - their lowest position under Mercer and worse since relegation in 1958-59.
