On This Day
In the first game post Eric Houghton Villa do what seemed impossible a week earlier as his former players, subject to a reshuffle but adding only new forward Ron Wylie, beat third placed Preston. Managerless Villa however remain rock bottom of the first division table.
Managerless Villa record their second win in eight to make it five wins, three draws and eleven defeats in nineteen division one games so far this season.
Meanwhile, forward Ron Wylie made his Villa debut aged 25 after moving from Notts County earlier this month.
