On This Day
Villa score for the first time in four games as Frank Broome scores his sixth goal of the season - a goal described as "magnificent, one of the best Villa goals for seasons" but they are held for the second successive game as they face Plymouth in their first ever League meeting.
Villa take the lead twice but Plymouth hit back each time to leave Villa winless in four having won four of their first six games of 1936-37.
Villa remain joint third in the table but they are now joined on 12 points by 5 other clubs.
