On This Day

  • 18 year old Midfielder Jack Grealish makes his first start for Villa after his debut substitute appearance in May 2014.

  • Andreas Weimann suffers his 40th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 97th appearance (71 Starts) to make it W32 D25 L40, 21 Goals, 7 Assists and 7 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day

Vic Crowe's Villa end a disappointing season with just one victory in the final eight matches and make it thirteen wins, fifteen draws and fourteen defeats for the season. The results, and failure to compete for promotion, cost Vic Crowe his job as Villa boss however the disappointment of 1973-74 could not overshadow Crowe's achievements in pulling Villa out of an almost decade long decline that culminated in relegation to the third tier for the first time in their history.
