ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 23 October 1965
Villa win at the City Ground to make it three games unbeaten and climb to 10th in the table alongside Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland. Wantaway Tony Hateley ‘scores’ the winner in a typical physical scramble from the blunt instrument that is the centre forward.
Dick Taylor's Villa win for the first time in four to make it six wins, two draws and six defeats in fourteen League fixtures this season.
