ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 3 October 1970
  • Villa, unbeaten in seven, struggle at Villa Park again to draw for the second successive game but Fulham are also held to leave the promotion chasing pacesetters first and second in the table with Villa trailing by a point. But Vic Crowe’s side have now played eleven third division fixtures, seven at home contributing nine points whereas their four away matches have amassed seven points suggesting improvement was needed in Villa’s home form if an immediate return to the second tier was going to happen.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa are held at Villa Park for the second consecutive game to make it six wins, four draws and a defeat in eleven division three games so far this season.
