Villa are forced to play on another pitch unworthy of hosting football but this time it's not ice and snow but mud and water as 1963's weather continues to play havoc.
Despite the win Villa drop to 7th in the table as those around them have played two, three and four games more.
Villa face their third game in four days in 48 hours - an FA Cup tie with Manchester United.
Joe Mercer's Villa, having played five games in three months play their second in just three days but they beat Orient to make it one defeat in fourteen and eleven wins, seven draws and seven defeats in twenty five division one games so far in 1962-63.
