On This Day
  • In a truly shocking game, Wednesday bring thuggery to the pitch and terraces as players and fans alike disgrace Sheffield and football. Jimmy MacEwan comes off worst, staggering off the pitch bloodied, and Villa are left to do whatever they can to get through the game unscathed.

  • Joe Mercer's Villa fail to score for the first time this season but secure a goalless draw to end a run of two defeats and make it eight wins, three draws and six defeats in seventeen division one games so far in 1962-63.
