ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 11 October 1969
Villa slump to defeat at Ninian to end their four game unbeaten run and fall back to the foot of the table level on points with Millwall but bottom on goal average.
Tommy Docherty's terrible season continues as Villa follow their second win in fourteen with a humiliation at Ninian Park. Docherty makes it two wins, four draws and eight losses in fourteen division two games so far this season. As a result Villa return to the bottom of the table.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Evan Williams made his final appearance for Villa aged 26 ahead of the end of his loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
