ON THIS DAY

Monday, 24 April 1972

Vic Crowe's Villa can only draw at Field Mill but Geoff Vowden's goal is enough to clinch promotion back to the second tier at the second attempt as Villa make it thirty wins, six draws and eight defeats in 44 division three games so far this campaign. Mansfield's late equaliser however prevented Villa being crowned champions but with two games remaining a single point would secure the title. Meanwhile, centre back George Curtis made his final appearance for Villa before retiring from football aged 32. George played for Villa between 1969-70 and 1971-72 making 58 appearances and scoring 3 goals.
