On This Day
Arthur Cox's caretaker spell continues as Villa now have just three wins in the last twenty seven games and make it three wins, eight draws and eleven defeats in twenty two division two games so far this season.
Villa remain bottom of the table on goal average being Fulham and are now two points from safety after drawing with top six side Charlton.
Meanwhile the boardroom battle rumbles on with missed deadlines aplenty and little clarity other than ongoing stasis until over a month after the sacking of Tommy Cummings the much derided board, ahead of the following weekend's game, agrees to resign.
Meanwhile, Brian Greenhalgh made his final Villa appearance aged just 21 before moving on to Leicester City in February 1969. Greenhalgh played for Villa between 1967-68 and 1968-69 making 40 appearances and scoring 12 goals.

On This Day
There is no change at the bottom of the table as Villa and Fulham both lose to remain two points from safety.
Meanwhile the self styled saviours of Villa, led by Pat Matthews, seem to promise a future of controversy as directorships are allegedly offered around in exchange for investment. This leads to suggestions of uncertainty over the capital claimed to have been available in the ‘take-over’. One such ‘invited’ party is a travel agent and Birmingham City director named Herbert Douglas Ellis who confirms he will be Chairman. Meanwhile Matthews is accused of intending to parachute in a manager, Tommy Docherty, without the usual process.
Arthur Cox's caretaker spell ends as Villa now have just three wins in the last twenty eight games and make it three wins, eight draws and twelve defeats in twenty three division two games so far this season.
Meanwhile, midfielder John Chambers made his second and final appearance aged 19 before moving on to Southend United in July 1969. --- Wednesday, 18 December 1968 Tommy Docherty is announced as the new Villa manager.
