ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 February 1972
Villa meet York for the first ever time and secure their eleventh victory in thirteen league games, having not conceded in their last four, a run that sees them open up a two point lead at the top of the table over second placed Bournemouth who have a game in hand whilst Notts County have two in hand and are three points behind Villa in third. Villa face Bournemouth next potentially without the pivotal Willie Anderson who was forced to leave the field with a hamstring injury.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it nine wins in ten and nineteen wins, two draws and six defeats in division three so far this campaign. As a result, Villa consolidate first place (played 27, points 40) from Bournemouth (played 26, points 38) and Notts County (played 25, points 37).
