ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 25 October 1969
Villa score for the first time in three games to take a point from fellow strugglers Oxford but sit rock bottom, a point behind Millwall and a point from safety. Brian Godfrey is again the star as Tommy Docherty attempts to shift blame for two wins in sixteen games onto fan expectation.
Tommy Docherty's Villa fail to win for the fourteenth time in sixteen League games to make it two wins, six draws and eight losses in sixteen division two games.
