On This Day
As the destructive Herbert Douglas Ellis continues to wreak havoc behind the scenes, Villa rise above the shenanigans of the travel agent and his enablers to open their second division campaign with victory at Preston thanks to Willie Anderson's late strike.
Vic Crowe's Villa open their division two campaign with a win over Preston as Willie Anderson hits a late winner.
