ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 10 February 1968
  • Villa lose for the first time in six as they are beaten at home on the break by a defensive Boro side they can't get past. Villa fall to 14th in the table.

  • A trademark dour, defensive Middlesbrough performance is unduly rewarded as Tommy Cummings' Villa lose for the first time in six to make it twelve wins, two draws and twelve defeats in twenty six League games so far this season.
