On This Day
Villa extend their unbeaten run to five second division matches but have drawn their last two as Ray Graydon is sent off on his return to the side during a bad-tempered game at The Den.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it five unbeaten but suffer a second sending off in six games and are held by Millwall at the Den. As a result, Villa make it seventeen wins, fourteen draws and nine defeats in forty League games. With just six points left to play for, Villa's bid for a second successive promotion is over.

What they Said
โThe sickening thing is that we could now be without Graydon for two or three weeks a the beginning of next season.
โItโs ridiculous to think that a player can get 12 points and not have them carried over to the next season, but if you are sent off you are automatically banned.โ
Vic Crowe.
