On This Day
In an astonishing game, Villa, having one the previous season's League Cup just eight games before, open up a 4-0 lead over fourth division Bradford before their lower league opposition score 3 goals to leave a game that was already one suddenly in the balance.
Joe Mercerโs Villa, beat fourth division Bradford in the first round of the 1961-62 League Cup two games after winning the 1960-61 competition.
