ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 31 March 1964
Villa play Birmingham again and another injustice occurs as Villa's neighbours are awarded a last minute equaliser despite THREE players being offside. Referee Roper refused to hear the protests as all sides of the ground looked on in shock.
Joe Mercer's Villa score three away from home but can only draw for the seventh time in ten to make it ten wins, twelve draws and sixteen defeats in thirty eight League games under Mercer.
