On This Day
Villa are the only side in the top four not to pick up points as Preston draw and Fulham, Halifax and Bristol Rovers win. As a result Villa fall back to joint fourth, behind Rovers on goal average and seven points off the promotion places with six games and twelve points left to play.
Vic Crowe's Villa make their first ever League visit to Shrewsbury as they recorded a second successive loss to seventeen wins, thirteen draws and ten defeats in forty division three games so far this season.

What they Said
"Me? I'm the happiest man In the ground.
"I played with six of the present Villa side before I was transferred three years ago."
Shrewsbury goalscorer, Dave Roberts.
โDon't get me wrong, I'm grateful for it. But there was a foul in midfield just before the goal and Villa should have been given a free kick.โ
