ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 8 February 1964
Villa, shorn of Tony Hateley by Bobby Moore's poor tackle against West Ham, are held to a draw by a Sheffield United side without a win in their last five. It is former Villain Derek Pace who does the damage yet again.
Joe Mercer's Villa draw for the second successive game but are now without a win in four to make it nine wins, seven draws and fourteen defeats in thirty League games. Once again it's ex-Villa man Derek Pace who does the damage.
