On This Day

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

Wednesday, 16 January 1963

  • Villa play their 11-day delayed FA Cup third round match in conditions that arguably shouldn't have hosted football. 

  • With players eschewing football boots for trainers and Villa 'keeper being knocked out on the frozen surface there was little to commend the decision to go ahead. 

  • That it ended in a draw with another fixture added to the five already needing to be rescheduled just added to the frustration.

  • Joe Mercer's Villa make it nine unbeaten but are held by third division Bristol City in the FA Cup third round ahead of a replay at Villa Park.
