Injury ravaged Villa go three up at half time but concede a last gasp equaliser to lowly Grimsby as a patchwork side of faded starts can't hold on.
Right back Ernie Callaghan, 37, makes the last of his 142 appearance for Villa before retiring from football.
Ronnie Starling makes his 98th and final appearance for Villa before also retiring aged 37.
