ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 11 January 1969
Villa make 18th place their own, six points clear of the relegation places, after Tommy Docherty delivers a fourth successive League win to transform a side cut adrift at the bottom just five second division games previously.
Barrie Hole repays Docherty’s faith with his latest goal to beat mid table Huddersfield but Villa end the game with ten men after Charlie Aitken is carried off with a damaged blood vessel in his chest.
Tommy Docherty makes it five wins in five since taking over as Villa boss who now have seven wins, eight draws and twelve defeats in twenty seven division two games so far this season. Villa win five consecutive games for the first time this season as they climb from from 22nd and bottom of the table under Tommy Cummings to 18th.
🟩 11 Jan 1969, Villa 1-0 Huddersfield, Villa Park.
