ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 8 September 1926
  • Villa's poor results at the start 1926-27 season under new Secretary Manager Billy Smith continues but once again they more than hold their own against a Liverpool side described as being "hammered" by Villa for a second time in three games and who "can count themselves lucky to have taken three points from the Villa".

  • Villa, shorn of Billy Walker once again following his injury last time out, suffer more misfortune as Len Capewell is incapacitated with injury for the second successive game.

  • Villa concede first for the fourth successive game under Billy Smith.

  • Villa are no joint 16th but classified 21st, one place ahead of pointless Everton.
