ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 9 April 1966
Villa fall in the mud to two second half goals from former Villain Harry Burrows and remain 17th in the table.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa lose for the tenth time in sixteen games to make it twelve wins, five draws and twenty defeats in thirty seven League matches. Meanwhile, ex Villa man Harry Burrows once again does the damage for Stoke - scoring both goals to beat his old side.
