ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 February 1969
In perhaps Villa’s best performance of the season, they overcome insipid conditions to turn the tables and supply the talent in contrast to the uncompromising opposition.
Despite their fifth win in six second division games under Tommy Docherty, Villa remain 18th in the table but now sit eight points clear of the relegation places.
Tommy Docherty's Villa make it five wins in six League games under his stewardship and eight wins, eight draws and thirteen defeats in twenty nine division two games so far this season.
