ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 December 1973
Villa secure their first point in four games as the returning Bruce Rioch and Ray Graydon combine, albeit unconvincingly, to put Villa ahead before County equalise from the spot to leave Villa 13th, five points off the final promotion place and twelve points off the leaders.
Vic Crowe's Villa, stop a run of three losses to make it seven wins, eight draws and six defeats in twenty one League games this season.
Meanwhile, Charlie Aitken marked his 555th appearance for Villa and 479th league appearance by receiving a trophy from Mrs Billie Walker, widow of the late Villa player, and previous record holder, Billy Walker.
