ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 December 1968
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.
