On This Day
Villa leave it late but beat Albion to climb to 15th place in the table. Villa win despite Joe Mercer bizarrely equips his team with basketball boots for the first half. The tactic doesn't work.
Joe Mercer's Villa win for the first time in six and keep a clean sheet for the first time in ten to make it ten wins, eight draws and fourteen defeats in thirty two League games.
Meanwhile, forward Kenny Fencott made his final appearance for Villa before moving on to Lincoln City in June 1964. Fencott played for Villa between 1961-62 and 1963-64 making 6 appearances.
