ON THIS DAY
Monday, 22 August 1966
  • Villa suffer a chastening defeat in only their second game of the season as twenty minutes after the game a section of fans are still calling for heads to roll with “Buckley must go” resonating around an August evening in Aston as former player, now Director, Chris Buckley, is the subject of the fans ire.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa make it a draw and a defeat in two home games so far this season. Despite winning three of the final five matches of 1965-66, Taylor had now presided over eight defeats in fourteen.
