On This Day
Villa shorn of their Irish contingent due to international duty lose heavily at Leeds Road as their four game winning run come to an end.
Villa fail to score for the first time since the opening day of the season as they fall back to joint 5th.
Villa make it seven wins and four defeats in eleven division one games so far this season.
Winger Billy Goffin makes his final appearance for Villa before moving on to Walsall in August 1954. Billy played for Villa between 1945-46 and 1953-54 making 173 appearances and scoring 42 goals.
