On This Day
Villa end 1969 without a win in four and bottom of the second division despite earning their first point and scoring their first goal since November in their draw with mid-table Swindon.
Villa are two points from safety ahead of the distraction of a third round FA Cup tie with fellow second tier side Charlton.
Tommy Docherty's Villa make it four wins, nine draws and twelve defeats in twenty five division two matches.
Meanwhile, centre back George Curtis made a goalscoring Villa debut aged 30 after joining from Coventry City earlier this month for a fee of ยฃ30,000.
