On This Day
Villa open 1960 with another win - their 17th in 26 games so far this season.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to five and win for the fourth time over that period to make it seventeen wins, six draws and three defeats, all away, in twenty six division two games so far this season as their excellent progress towards promotion from the second tier continues.
Meanwhile, winger Norman Ashe made his Villa debut aged just 16 after joining from school football in July 1958. At 16 years and 48 days old, Ashe becomes the youngest player ever to appear for Villa.
