ON THIS DAY
After the departure of manager Alex Massie from his position in August 1950, the Villa board decided to turn the clock back 20 years and assemble a management committee to take care of first team duties whilst the search apparently went on for a permanent manager. Despite the uncertainty behind the scenes Villa opened the season with a win over near neighbours Albion.
