Vic Crowe's Villa gain swift revenge over a Torquay side who had so unexpectedly beaten them four games earlier to make it thirty one wins, six draws and eight defeats in 45 division three games. Villa's latest win clinched the third division title (played 45, points 68), winning a record number of games (31) Villa and having already set a points record. Second placed Brighton (played 45, points 64) secured promotion ahead of third placed Bournemouth (played 45, points 61).
