ON THIS DAY
Monday, 7 October 1963
Villa suffer a third successive defeat and fifth of the season at home to fall to 18th in the table after a thuggish game against Everton at Villa Park.
Joe Mercer's Villa fail to score for the second time in three and lose three successive matches for the first time this season and the first time since April 1963 when they lost nine on the bounce under Mercer. Villa also lost their fifth home match in six this season to make it four wins, a draw and seven defeats as another season of struggle looked unavoidable.
