ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 30 March 1968
Villa win for the first time in five second division games after four consecutive defeats as Tommy Cummings’ side climb back to joint 13th in the table but remain just five points off the relegation places with eight games left to play of what is described as a “Dismal season” by the local press.
Tommy Cummings' Villa win for the first time in five to stop a run of four successive losses and make it fourteen wins, three draws and seventeen defeats in thirty four League games so far this season.
