Joe Mercer's Champions Villa lose their final game of the season but it hardly matters as they make it twenty five wins, nine draws and eight defeats, seven away, in forty two division two games. Villa under Mercer had delivered an excellent season and after a fallow period were once again in the ascendancy. A season featuring outstanding form, entertainment and some spectacular results ended with well deserved promotion and the second division title. Along the way Villa had also reached the FA Cup semi finals, sweeping aside three top tier sides, to put Mercer and Villa right back at the top of the footballing map.
