ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 March 1966
Just as Villa looked to be turning a corner another defeat to West Ham derails the comeback. To make matters worse, the Hammers had been below Villa in the table before kick off.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa lose for the fifth time in eight to make it twelve wins, three draws and sixteen defeats in thirty one League matches.
