ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 27 February 1968
Villa stop a run of three defeats with a goalless draw at Ashton Gate thanks to a fine goalkeeping performance from John Dunn.
Tommy Cummings' Villa fail to score for the third time in four games but keep a clean sheet to make it twelve wins, three draws and thirteen defeats in twenty eight League games so far this season.
Meanwhile, winger Dave Roberts made his final Villa appearance aged 21 before moving on to Shrewsbury Town in March 1968. Roberts had made 19 appearances, scoring twice after arriving from Lucas Eagle FC in December 1963.
