On This Day
Villa can only draw their game in hand over leaders Cardiff and only reduce the gap to two points.
Lincoln suffer outrageous fortune in injuring Nigel Sims just before half time, leaving him incapacitated for the entire second period before lucking into a goal having survived a storm of Villa chances both before and after their strike.
Joe Mercer's Villa drop points at home for the second successive game as Lincoln have now held Villa home and away to make it nineteen wins, eight draws and five defeats, four away, in thirty two division two games.
Meanwhile, centre forward Brian Handley made his Villa debut aged 23 after moving from Goole Town in September 1958.

On This Day
Depleted Villa come out all guns blazing to then find themselves two down, conceding two more by the 60th minute, Villa are facing only their second home defeat of the season however Joe Mercer's men have other ideas. Scoring four to equalise, missing a host of other chances and an open invitation to score in the final knockings and they share a 4-4 draw with Liverpool.
Joe Mercer's Villa, in a season peppered with remarkable results, entertain with a four-all draw against promotion rivals Liverpool to make it five League games unbeaten and twenty two wins, nine draws and five defeats, four away, in thirty six division two games so far this season as their strong progress towards promotion from the second tier continues.
Meanwhile, midfielder Trevor Birch made his final appearance for Villa aged 26 before moving on to Stockport County in November 1960. Birch played for Villa between 1954-55 and 1959-60 making 22 appearances.

On This Day
Villa - with an opportunity to seal promotion - lose at the Valley but keep hold of top spot and a lead of one point over second as Cardiff are beaten heavily once again.
Joe Mercer's Villa, having destroyed Charlton 11-1 earlier in the season surprisingly lose at the Valley for their first League defeat in six and make it twenty two wins, nine draws and six defeats, five away, in thirty seven division two games so far this season. Despite the shock defeat, Villa are still odds on for promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt. Meanwhile, centre forward Brian Handley made his third and final Villa appearance aged 23 before moving on to Torquay United in September 1960.
