Tony Hateley's 34th goal of the season secures Villa a draw as they climb onto 35 points level with Sunderland, Sheffield United and the mighty Leicester.

Dick Taylor's Villa are now unbeaten in seven League games for the first time this season and make it fifteen wins, five draws and twenty one defeats in forty one division one matches this season. 

Meanwhile, forward Ron Wylie made his final appearance before moving on to Birmingham City in July 1965. Another idiotic decision, Wylie, freshly named as Midlands Player of the Year had been comfortably one of Villa's best performers in a difficult season and his departure, following on the footsteps of Harry Burrows, raised significant question marks over the competence of those leading the club off the pitch. Wylie played for Villa between 1958-59 and 1964-65 making 244 appearances and scoring 27 goals.
