ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 29 August 1964
  • Three defeats in three as Villa lose consecutive games in the capital and hand Arsenal their first win of the season. The result leaves Villa rock bottom in the table.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa make it three defeats from three under his leadership as they rack up six consecutive losses including the end of the 1963-64 season. Villa now have just four wins in the last twenty nine matches after a torrid final twelve months under Mercer and a difficult start to life under Taylor.
