On This Day
Villa record a first win of the season after their opening day defeat as Billy Kirton contributes a brace of assists and Dicky York and Billy Walker score their first goals of 1923-24.
Referee Scholey however takes the headlines after an unusual furore over a disallowed goal. Although it wasn't a game changing error from the official the indignation was caused by the sheer incompetence of his judgement after the 'keeper had dragged the ball back from well over a foot across the line.
