On This Day
Villa concede first for the sixth time in 9 games and this time it's against a side they should be beating with ease, a last gasp goal however condemns Villa to a 5th defeat of the season under Eric Houghton.
Goalkeeper Dennis Parsons makes his final appearance for Villa before moving on to Kidderminster Harriers in September 1956. Parsons played for Villa between 1952-53 and 1954-55 making 41 appearances.
