On This Day
Thuggishness on the pitch and from the terraces is beaten by a vastly superior Villa side as Freddie Haycock scores for the second time in three games and Villa win for the fourth time in seven division two games.
Villa make it four wins, a draw and two defeats in seven division two games.
Villa climb back to joint fourth and move within two points of leaders Coventry after 7 games. Up next is bottom side Fulham.
Forward Frank Shell made his Villa debut aged 24 after joining from Ford Sports in May 1937.
