Jim Robey and George Hardy replace George Beeson and Matt Moralee.

  • Villa face refereeing misfortune in the first half before Leicester take an undeserved lead and then suffer a series of injuries debilitating the team before Leicester, who have a player booked, score two late goals.

  • Villa concede the first goal of the game for the 10th consecutive match and the 15th time in 19 so far in 1936-37.

  • Alex Massie scores his first of the season but Villa lose consecutive games under Jimmy Hogan and now have just two wins in thirteen second tier games.

  • Villa make it six wins, eight draws and five defeats in nineteen division two matches.

  • Right back Jim Robey, 23, made his third and final appearance for Villa before moving on to Aberdeen in February 1938

  • Forward Gordon Hodgson, 32, made the last of his 28 appearances during which time he scored eleven goals before moving on to Leeds United in March 1937.
