ON THIS DAY
Monday, 16 May 1966
  • Chelsea win at Stamford Bridge to end a difficult season 16th, four places and three points above the relegated clubs - Northampton and Blackburn.

  • Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa end the season with three wins in five to secure their top flight status but boast a record of just fifteen wins, five draws and twenty two defeats in forty two League matches. As a result, Villa finish 16th under Taylor for the second successive season as the club stagnates on and off the pitch. 

  • Meanwhile, forward Phil Woosnam made his final appearance for Villa aged 33 before moving on to Atlanta Chiefs in June 1966. Woosnam played for Villa between 1962-63 and 1965-66 making 125 appearances and scoring 29 goals however his creative contribution provided significantly more and his loss would be underlined in stark terms in 1966-67.
