On This Day
John Maund scores for the second successive game but Villa lose for the seventh time in eight division two games under Jimmy Hogan.
The defeat though is an unlucky one as Villa are in the ascendancy throughout with Luton's football described as "not a shred" better than third division play. It is a goal after just 17 seconds and a defensive error that puts paid to Villa's hopes of a second successive victory to open 1937-38.
Villa lose for the seventh time in eight division two games under Jimmy Hogan as they are beaten at Kenilworth Road by newly promoted Luton in their first ever League meeting.
