ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 October 1967
Brian Greenhalgh and Brian Godfrey score on their home debuts to put Villa two up after half an hour but Tommy Cummings’ side collapse to their eighth defeat in eleven second division games in a typically aggressive display from neighbours Birmingham. Villa fall back to joint 19th in the table and remain out of the relegation places on goal average.
Tommy Cummings' Villa make it eight defeats in eleven League games. As a result Villa had now lost sixteen of their last twenty one games, winning just two.
