ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 17 September 1966
Villa, 4-0 behind at half time, concede six for the second successive game as Bobby Tambling hits five for the visitors to leave Villa’s season at a new low and anger at the board reaching fever pitch. Villa sit 19th in the table, level on points with Sunderland and Sheffield United, one point above the relegation places. Meanwhile, helpful as ever, Tony Hateley makes his SIXTH transfer request.
Dick Taylor's Villa concede twelve goals in two games as they are hammered for the second successive game - this time at home as Bobby Tambling scores five - to make it two wins, one draw and five defeats in eight League games so far this season.
