On This Day

Arthur Cox's caretaker spell continues as Villa now have just three wins in the last twenty seven games and make it three wins, eight draws and eleven defeats in twenty two division two games so far this season.
Villa remain bottom of the table on goal average being Fulham and are now two points from safety after drawing with top six side Charlton.
Meanwhile the boardroom battle rumbles on with missed deadlines aplenty and little clarity other than ongoing stasis until over a month after the sacking of Tommy Cummings the much derided board, ahead of the following weekend's game, agrees to resign.
Meanwhile, Brian Greenhalgh made his final Villa appearance aged just 21 before moving on to Leicester City in February 1969. Greenhalgh played for Villa between 1967-68 and 1968-69 making 40 appearances and scoring 12 goals.

On This Day

There is no change at the bottom of the table as Villa and Fulham both lose to remain two points from safety.
Meanwhile the self styled saviours of Villa, led by Pat Matthews, seem to promise a future of controversy as directorships are allegedly offered around in exchange for investment. This leads to suggestions of uncertainty over the capital claimed to have been available in the ‘take-over’. One such ‘invited’ party is a travel agent and Birmingham City director named Herbert Douglas Ellis who confirms he will be Chairman. Meanwhile Matthews is accused of intending to parachute in a manager, Tommy Docherty, without the usual process.
Arthur Cox's caretaker spell ends as Villa now have just three wins in the last twenty eight games and make it three wins, eight draws and twelve defeats in twenty three division two games so far this season.
Meanwhile, midfielder John Chambers made his second and final appearance aged 19 before moving on to Southend United in July 1969. --- Wednesday, 18 December 1968 Tommy Docherty is announced as the new Villa manager.

On This Day

Villa win and Fulham lose as Tommy Docherty’s new charges climb to joint 18th in the table but remain in the relegation places on goal average.
Docherty proves ‘tactics Tommy’ to predecessor Cummings’ ‘timid Tommy’ and unconditionally grants a transfer request for want away ‘keeper Withers whilst reinstating goalscorer Barrie Hole.
Villa’s victory was all the more impressive as Norwich arrived at Villa Park with the best away record in the division.
Tommy Docherty wins his first game in charge as Villa now have four wins in the last twenty nine games and make it four wins, eight draws and twelve defeats in twenty four division two games so far this season.
Earlier in the day however, deposed Villa #1 Colin Withers’ transfer request was granted by Docherty whilst Barrie Hole, who had not featured since a bust up with caretaker manager Arthur Cox in November and subsequent suspension, returned to the team for Docherty’s debut.
Meanwhile, forward John Woodward made his final Villa appearance as a substitute before moving on to Walsall in May 1969. Woodward played for Villa between 1966-67 and 1968-69 making 29 appearances and scoring 8 goals.

On This Day

Villa beat second placed Cardiff in Tommy Docherty’s second game in charge as the recalled Barrie Hole scores for the second successive match and new-boy Brian Tiler, signed by Docherty the previous Monday, scores on debut.
For good measure Willie Anderson, dropped by former boss Tommy Cummings, continues his rehabilitation under Docherty with his second assist in two games.
Tommy Docherty makes it two wins in two as Villa now have five wins in the last thirty games and make it five wins, eight draws and twelve defeats in twenty five division two games so far this season.
Villa win consecutive games for the first time this season - a feat witnessed by the highest gate in the second division this season.
Meanwhile, centre back Brian Tiler made a goalscoring debut aged 25 after moving from Rotherham United for a free of £33,000 on Monday.

On This Day

Tommy Docherty's Villa lose for the first time under his stewardship and the first time in six games after conceding a goal in the 90'+5 minute as his controversial time-wasting tactics come back to haunt them. As a result of the reverse, Villa make it seven wins, eight draws and thirteen defeats in twenty eight division two games so far this season and are still deep in relegation trouble.

On This Day

Meanwhile, Docherty, amid a relegation dog fight, hands a debut to 18 year old goalkeeper John Phillips after his move from Shrewsbury Town earlier this month for a fee of £30,000. Whilst midfielder Mike Ferguson made his final appearance for Villa aged 26 before moving on to Queens Park Rangers in November 1969. Ferguson played for Villa between 1968-69 and 1969-70 making 42 appearances and scoring 2 goals.
