ON THIS DAY
Monday, 18 March 1968
Former Preston favourites Brian Greenhalgh and Godfrey combine after 5’ to put Villa ahead but that’s as good as it gets for Tommy Cummings’ side who lose a third successive game and sixth time in eight as their Lancashire struggles continue.
Tommy Cummings' Villa lose three successive games and for the sixth time in eight to make it thirteen wins, three draws and sixteen defeats in thirty two League games so far this season.
