ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 21 March 1970

  • Villa stop a run of four consecutive defeats with a home draw against promotion chasers Blackburn but remain bottom of the table, four points behind Preston and five points off safety with six games left to play.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa stop their worst run of the season - four successive League defeats - as they draw with Blackburn following an early George Curtis goal to record one win, three draws and six defeats in his ten games in charge. As a result Villa make it five wins, twelve draws and nineteen defeats in thirty six division two matches this season. 

  • Meanwhile, Barrie Hole made his final Villa appearance aged 27 before moving on to Swansea Town in July 1970. Hole played for Villa between 1968-69 and 1969-70 making 53 appearances and scoring 9 goals.
