ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 30 December 1967
Villa gain swift revenge for their defeat at Ninian Park to beat Cardiff and make 16th place in the table their own, seven points clear of the relegation places in the final game of 1967.
Tommy Cummings' Villa win for the fourth time in six to make it nine wins, two draws and eleven defeats in twenty two League games so far this season. As a result Villa end the year in vastly improved form from the early spell under Cummings and have a realistic chance of consolidating their position in division two.
