On This Day
  • Villa's horrible run of results - if not performances - continue as they lose to fellow 7th placed side Tottentham. Yet again Villa more than hold their own before conceding goals in quick succession and it is a barely credible fourth successive defeat and fifth in six games.

  • With Con Martin injured and Joe Rutherford out of favour, goalkeeper Graham Cordell maakes his debut after joining from Walsall Star in September 1949.

On This Day
  • Villa play bottom side Burnley and lose - their 6th defeat in 8 - as they continue to surrender points to teams and circumstances that they should have no issues with beating.

  • The hard luck stories however are wearing thin but once again Villa suffer injuries that leave them with 'keeper Cordell and centre forward Davy Walsh incapacitated for 54 of the 90 minutes and 84 respectively,

  • Ultimately Villa could not hang on with 9-men despite the paucity of the opposition and it was yet another defeat under George Martin.
