On This Day
Villa, beginning to look the finished article, sweep aside Bolton at Villa Park to climb back to sixth in the table as a second half of the season "force to be reckoned with" is predicted for Joe Mercer's Villa.
Joe Mercer's Villa make it five unbeaten and now have just two defeats in their last thirteen games to make it ten wins, four draws and six defeats in twenty division one games so far in 1962-63.
Meanwhile, forward Phil Woosnam made his Villa debut aged 29 after moving from West Ham United in November 1962.
