ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 18 March 1967
Villa are held to a second successive 3-3 draw but this time it’s Dick Taylor’s side who are outplayed and need a late equaliser. Barry Stobart proves the hero as he scores a brace to make it four goals in his last three games. Even though Villa are beginning to take points off the teams above them they remain 18th in the table as the gap to the relegation places is reduced to four points.
Dick Taylor's Villa share the spoils in a 3-3 draw for the second consecutive match to make it three unbeaten and ten wins, five draws and sixteen defeats in thirty one League games so far this season.
