ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 26 January 1974
Bob Wilson's "rank professionalism" gets Villa's Sammy Morgan booked and sent off at Highbury to allow first division Arsenal to secure an underserved FA Cup fourth round replay as Clive Thomas puts in another highly questionable performance.
Vic Crowe's Villa, earn a creditable draw at first division Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round despite being reduced to ten men after Sammy Morgan's 63' sending off.

🆘 There is no game, no occasion, the self-importance of Thomas could not spoil. Needless yellow cards, a sending off and penalty for non-fouls yet still he strutted like a peacock whilst the terrances erupted into violence because of his behaviour. A shameful performance from a shameless referee.
