ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 October 1970
Villa bounce back from their first League defeat in ten to win for the first time in eight League games and record their first third division victory at Villa Park in nine. However with Fulham also winning, and having drawn in midweek, they sit three points clear of Vic Crowe’s side on top of the table as Villa share second place with Bristol Rovers. Villa’s win comes despite a disruptive performance from the referee who awarded 56 free kicks, booked for players and awarded a penalty.
Villa face Tranmere Rovers for the first time in competitive football, Tranmere become the 101st team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Vic Crowe's Villa score for the first time in three games and win for the first time in six as they make it seven wins, six draws and two defeats in fifteen division three games so far this season.
