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.
