On This Day
  • Villa follow one diabolical performance with another and are knocked out of the FA Cup by second tier Millwall.

  • Graham Turnerโ€™s Villa import their woeful League form into the FA Cup as they lose to mid table second tier side Millwall in the fourth round. 

  • Meanwhile, the man Turner replaced, Tony Barton, skewers Herbert Douglas Ellis as only a man of his dignity and integrity could.
