On This Day
Villa are never in the game against a workmanlike Sheffield United side as the guile and intelligence of Phil Woosnam is sorely missed. Villa remain 14th.
Dick Taylor's Villa lose for the third time in four to make it ten wins, two draws and thirteen defeats in twenty five League matches.
