Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa's improved results continue as they avoid defeat for the third time in their last four games with a draw against high flying Portsmouth.

  • Jock Mulraney scores his first goal for the club following his move four games earlier as George Edwards contributes a goal involvement for the 6th successive game (6 Goals, 2 Assists).

  • Villa climb to joint 19th alongside Preston as Everton lose to Blackpool and Sheffield United to Manchester City leaving Villa a point clear of the bottom two.

  • Forward Albert Brown made the last of his 31 appearances for Villa aged 32 before becoming player manager of Gorleston Town in June 1949. Albert suffered a broken jaw in two places after 70' and was hospitalised and would never play for Villa again.
