ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 28 March 1961
Villa lose out to a late goal that keeps Albion safe from relegation but does Villa no favours in their quest for a top 6 finish.
Joe Mercer's Villa lose for the first time in five as they play their third game in six days and make it fourteen wins, ten at home, eight draws and twelve defeats, eight away, in thirty four games following their return to the top flight.
Meanwhile, winger Mike Kenning made his Villa debut aged 20 after moving from Brookhill in 1957.
