On This Day
With 23' of the game remaning Villa were 2-1 ahead, at full time they had been defeated 2-5 by Leicester and but for Keith Jones the size of the defeat, could, and probably should have been more.
Eric Houghton's Villa end a run of three consecutive games with a fifth home defeat in nine to make it five wins, four draws and seven defeats after sixteen division one matches.
Davy Walsh scores on his 100th League appearance in a Villa shirt.
Full back Arthur Proudler made his sole appearance for in a Villa shirt after joining from Halesowen Town in December 1947. Proudler moved on to Crystal Palace in June 1956.
