On This Day
  • Ronnie Starling scores for the second successive game but Villa's ragged end to an excellent first season back in the top flight continues as they lose for the fourth time in six having not lost in the previous eight winning five.

  • Villa make it sixteen wins, eight draws and fifteen defeats in thirty nine division one games so far this season. 

  • Meanwhile, full back Bill Cobley made the last of his 46 Villa appearances before moving on to Solus FC at the end of the season.
