ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 August 1966
  • Villa open 1966-67 with a home draw in a lacklustre display that suggests another season of attrition awaits.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa open the season with a draw thanks to Lew Chatterley's strike. The result marks the first time Villa haven't lost the opening game of the season under Taylor.
