ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 10 December 1966
  • Villa concede five or more for the fifth time this season as they are destroyed by Stoke as former Villain Harry Burrows hits a hat-trick to leave Villa two points off the relegation places.

  • Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa lose for the second time in three and concede six goals for the third time as former Villa man Harry Burrows does it again - scoring a hat-trick to help Stoke destroy his old club - to make it six wins, three draws and eleven defeats in twenty League games so far this season.
