On This Day
With five injured in the Albion match, Joe Mercer rings the changes and Villa run rings around neighbours Birmingham to climb to 7th in the table.
Joe Mercerโs Villa extend their League winning form to five in the last seven as they win successive games against near neighbours to make it fourteen wins, seven draws and twelve defeats in thirty three Division One games this season.
Meanwhile, centre back Jimmy Dugdale made his final Villa appearance aged 30 before moving on to Queens Park Rangers in October 1962. Dugdale played for Villa between 1955-56 and 1961-62 making 255 appearances and scoring 3 goals; winning the 1956-57 FA Cup and 1960-61 League Cup with Villa.
As Dugdale left, a new player arrived, as full back Wilson Briggs made his Villa debut aged 19 after moving from Musselburgh Windsor in August 1959.
