On This Day
Villa four two up with ten minutes to play capitulate and allow themselves to be overrun by Vale. Despite collecting just one point, Villa climb to joint third place with Swansea but are now five points behind leaders Bournemouth and four points behind second placed Notts County who Villa face in their next game.
Vic Crowe's Villa score four for the second successive match, four away from home, but can only draw in a remarkable match with Vale. As a result Villa make it nine wins, two draws and five defeats in division three so far this campaign.
Meanwhile, forward Mick Hoban made his debut appearance in the Villa squad debut aged 19 after joining from St. Chad's College.

What they Said
"We have got to start winning the ball in the air.
โSides that give away as many goals as we have this season. finish up with nothing."
Vic Crowe.
"I was allowed to do it [play as an effective winner for the final ten minutes].
โAs a defender I just couldn't believe the way Villa's back line let us get a point.
"It was disgraceful really.
โThere was little or no physical challenge at all, and you don't get out of this Division playing like that."
Port Vale scorer and full back Tony Loska.
