On This Day
Villa suffer a surprise defeat at St Andrews' despite taking the lead twice but Birmingham score the final goal after Villa goalkeeper remains on the field concussed following the home side's second equaliser.
Joe Mercer marks his 200th game in charge of Villa with a first defeat in seven as they lose to neighbours Birmingham to make it eight wins, two draws and five defeats in fifteen division one games so far in 1962-63.
