On This Day
Villa undo all their good work against Burnley 10 days earlier and lose to Wednesday to slump to 21st in the table. The saving grace though is because of their recent non-activity Villa have games in hand on the teams around them.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa lose for the eleventh time in eighteen games to make it thirteen wins, five draws and twenty one defeats in thirty nine League matches.
Meanwhile, winger Jimmy MacEwan made his final appearance for Villa aged 37 before moving on to Walsall in August 1966. MacEwan played for Villa between 1959-60 and 1965-66 making 181 appearances and scoring 32 goals.
