On This Day
Eric Houghton's Villa extend their unbeaten League to six as they end the campaign in their best run of form of the season with five wins in their last eight games and just one defeat to make it sixteen wins, seven draws and nineteen defeats in forty one division two games. As a result, a season that began with fourteen defeats in twenty four ended in significantly more healthy fashion however Villa, under Houghton, finished four places below the previous season with no Cup run to boot.
