On This Day
Saturday, 30 October 1926
Villa win at neighbouring St Andrew's for the first time in 19 years... although Birmingham had spent the best part of 15 years outside the top flight during that run.
For the second successive game Billy Walker scores a late goal to secure a win against local opposition as Villa extend their unbeaten run to four, winning three.
Villa make it four wins, three draws and six defeats in their first thirteen division one matches in 1926-27 under Billy Smith.
Villa climb to joint 14th.
