Villa concede a freak goal in the first minute and Manchester City never look back having scored at Villa Park for the first time in four years.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose at Villa Park to make it four wins, eight draws and ten defeats in twenty two games this season.
Meanwhile, forward Eddie Follan made his final appearance before moving to Worcester City in May 1956. Follan played for Villa in 1954-55 and 1955-56 making 36 appearances and scoring 7 goals.
