On This Day

  • With five injured in the Albion match, Joe Mercer rings the changes and Villa run rings around neighbours Birmingham to climb to 7th in the table.

  • Joe Mercerโ€™s Villa extend their League winning form to five in the last seven as they win successive games against near neighbours to make it fourteen wins, seven draws and twelve defeats in thirty three Division One games this season. 

  • Meanwhile, centre back Jimmy Dugdale made his final Villa appearance aged 30 before moving on to Queens Park Rangers in October 1962. Dugdale played for Villa between 1955-56 and 1961-62 making 255 appearances and scoring 3 goals; winning the 1956-57 FA Cup and 1960-61 League Cup with Villa. 

  • As Dugdale left, a new player arrived, as full back Wilson Briggs made his Villa debut aged 19 after moving from Musselburgh Windsor in August 1959.

On This Day

  • Despite having the best of the first half, Alan Deakin suffers a game ending injury and whilst he remained on the pitch was unable to contribute. The handicap gave Everton the filip they needed to get back in the game and Villa's effective ten men were defeated for the third successive League game to drop to 9th in the table. Surely Villa's luck had to turn soon?

  • Joe Mercer's Villa lose three successive games for the first time this season and do so without scoring for the first time since the 1955-56 season under Eric Houghton when they finished 20th in the top flight, just outside the relegation places. Villaโ€™s latest fixture is their second in four days as their wildly interrupted season delivered the inevitable fixture list congestion in the final two months of the season. As a result of Villaโ€™s failure to score for the sixth time in the last nine they make it twelve wins, seven draws and ten defeats in twenty nine division one games so far this season as a campaign of such promise before the fixture interruption continues to falter.
