ON THIS DAY
Monday, 22 April 1957
  • Villa play their second game in three days and eight in the last twenty but make light work of the opposition as they hammer Wolves at Villa Park but in their crazy schedule Villa are now expected to play the return game in 24 hours time - their 9th game in 21 days - in what is far from ideal preparation for the FA Cup final vs. Manchester United.

  • Villa make it fourteen wins, fifteen draws and eleven defeats in forty Division One games this season under Eric Houghton.
