On This Day

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

Saturday, 7 February 1970

  • Villa record a second successive draw to accumulate two points from two games under Vic Crowe and equal the tally achieved by Tommy Docherty in his previous six games in charge. 

  • Villa's point comes against promotion chasing and second placed Cardiff. 

  • Scarcely believably however a horribly confused fan base submit a โ€œBring back Dochertyโ€ petition and sing the former managerโ€™s name in Villaโ€™s highest League attendance for over three months whilst ignoring new boss Vic Crowe. 

  • Quite why a failure of such epic proportions as Dochertyโ€™s 26 game run would prompt demands for a repeat is never adequately explained, for Docherty, already in employment with Porto, he starts his reign with defeat.  Villa remain bottom of the table, three points off safety with a game in hand over Watford and Preston.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa secure a second successive draw to make it make it four wins, eleven draws and thirteen defeats in twenty eight division two matches and remain bottom of the table, three points adrift of safety.

What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

"The Aston Villa supporter Is the greatest.

"The Holte End is as good as Liverpool's famous Kop and given a little success it would be better.

"All those people turning out on a day that was cold and wet... I could cry for them.

โ€œAnything at all we can do we will do.

โ€œAston Villa is not just a club, it's a way of life for those people on the terraces - it is those people on the terraces.

"That roar that came when we equalised. It was a roar of relief. A release of pent-up frustration

"I believe this attendance means that the fans are supporting what we decided to do.

โ€œThis is the proof that the club is greater than one man."

Chairman Herbert Douglas Ellis says all the right things.



โ€œIt was not a good match but then you don't expect it in these circumstances.

"I'd send them out in claret and blue jock straps if I thought it would do any good [after Crowe reverted to old style Villa shirts for the game].

โ€œThe players are looking for things like this [John Phillipsโ€™ error as a lob into the area bounce, hit his shoulder and fell into the path of Cardiff goalscorer Clark].

โ€œLast week it was a broken leg, this week a soft goal. Theyโ€™ll be wondering if the stand is going to fall down next.โ€

Vic Crowe.
