On This Day

Eric Houghton's Villa suffer a fourth successive defeat for the first time since October 1953 and have now shipped eighteen goals in four games as they lose at home for the second time this season. As a result Villa make it one win, one draw and four defeats in six division one games so far this season, scoring eleven and conceding twenty one with an unexpected season of struggle looking inevitable. Meanwhile, full back John Sharples made his Villa debut aged 24 after moving from Heath Town in October 1955.

On This Day

Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the third successive game for the second time this season and lose for the eleventh time in sixteen as their terrible form continues. As a result, Villa make it four wins, three draws and eleven defeats in eighteen division one games so far this season. As a result Houghton would leave his managerial post with immediate effect with Villa facing an increasingly difficult fight to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Bill Beaton made his sole appearance for Villa aged 23 after joining the club from Dunfermline Athletic in October 1958. Beaton moved on to Airdrie in February 1960. Also making their final appearance was full back John Sharples who made his thirteenth and final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving to Walsall in August 1959.
