ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 26 February 1966
Villa make it two wins in two as the sea air does them some good. Back in 12th place.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa make it successive wins having not won in the previous six to make it twelve wins, three draws and fifteen defeats in thirty League matches.
