On This Day
Saturday, 30 September 1933
Villa lose for the fourth time in eight games despite Dai Astley scoring for the sixth time this season whilst Eric Houghton contributes a brace of assists to make it 8 goal involvements in 8 games in 1933-34.
But the real story of the game is for the second game in succession and the third time in six Villa encountering a very poor refereeing performance.
This time referee Judd not only awards a pair of dubious penalties to the home team but also awards a handball winner before physically manhandling Pongo Waring in an unseemly second half scene.
Villaโs legendary forward Billy Walker made his 529th and final appearance for Villa - more than any other player to date - during which time he scored 245 goals.
