On This Day
Villa can only draw at Bolton to leave themselves 16th in what was proving to be a highly inconsistent season so far.
Joe Mercerโs Villa are held at Burnden Park to make it six wins, four draws and seven defeats in seventeen Division One games this season.
Meanwhile, forward Ken Fencott made his Villa debut aged 17 after joining from junior football in March 1959.
