ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 September 1965
  • Villa win their first game of the season after five attempts but have to mount a huge rearguard action to do so after Tony Hateley lumbered Villa in front. As a result of their first two point haul of the campaign, Villa climb to 19th, one point above the relegation and level on points with Fulham and West Ham.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa win for the first time this season to make it one win, a draw and three defeats in five League games.
