ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 27 August 1966
A week into the 1966-67 season under Dick Taylor and Villa are already in crisis; three games, one goal, two defeats, one point and 19th on goal average just ahead of a trio of pointless clubs propping up the foot of the table.
Dick Taylor's Villa fail to score for the second successive game to make it a draw and two defeats so far this season. Despite winning three of the final five matches of 1965-66, Taylor had now presided over nine defeats in fifteen.
Meanwhile, 18 year old Midfielder Dave Rudge made his Villa debut after signing professional forms with the club on 1 May 1965.
