On This Day
Albert Allen scores Villa's consolation as an injury ravaged Villa record a 1-8 scoreline that was the biggest defeat in all competitions until Paul Lambert rocked up at Villa Park for the 2012-13 season.
Meanwhile, this was the first Villa game in which Referee Clegg had officiated since his disgraceful post match claims in the previous season's FA Cup.
Forward Tommy Green made his final Villa appearance aged 25 before moving on to Kidderminster Harriers. Despite scoring 15 goals in the campaign and creating numerous goals for his team-mates, Green was allowed to leave.
Full back Bob Thomas made his sole appearance for Villa having joined from from Cocknage FC before transferring to Walsall Town.
