ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 27 August 1969
Villa sit alone at the bottom of the table after five second division games having lost three successive home matches without scoring.
Tommy Docherty's terrible start to the season continues as Villa make it one draw and four losses in five division two games so far this season with relegation under the self-confident boss already looking inevitable.
