ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 8 October 1968
Villa save waves of Bristol attacks as John Dunn puts in an excellent goalkeeping performance but Villa are hamstrung throughout by a 12’ injury suffered by the returning Mike Ferguson who eventually limps off with 10 minutes remaining. Villa with eight men regularly behind the ball hold out until 70’ before conceding and lose for the first time in three second division games.
Tommy Cummings' Villa now have just two wins in the last eighteen games as they make it two wins, four draws and seven defeats in thirteen division two games so far this season.
