On This Day
Saturday, 13 September 1947
In Alex Massie's 100th game in charge Villa suffer their first defeat since the opening day of the season as they are beaten by third placed Blackpool at Villa Park.
Villa concede for the first time in four games as they are unluckily beaten by Blackpool who score the only goal of the game despite Villa having the possession and chances to deliver another comfortable home win.
Villa fall back to joint 8th.
