ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 13 January 1973

  • Vic Crowe's 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Villa lose out to top flight side Everton in the third round of the FA Cup. 

  • Following the criticism of the chastening defeat to second division leaders Burnley last time out, Vic Crowe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 rings the changes for the FA Cup tie with first division Everton. 

  • Midfielder Jimmy Brown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and forward Brian Little 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, teenagers both, shine, but Villa are beaten as the oft fallible goalkeeper Jimmy Cumbes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 errs again.

  • Willie Anderson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 25 makes his final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Cardiff City for a fee of £60,000 in February 1973.
