On This Day
Villa are robbed of key players by international call ups to the England side and are forced to play a crucial game in their title chase without their 'keeper and centre forward.
The ridiculous situation is not new but it's effect is bafflingly unfair in the destination of the title.
Villa lose for the second time in twenty matches.
Villa make it sixteen wins, ten draws and seven defeats in thirty three division one games so far this season.
Villa drop to joint 4th in the table, level on points with Bolton and four behind new leaders Wednesday but with a game in hand.
Centre forward Stuart Doncaster scores on his second and final Villa appearance aged 22 before moving on to Glossop North End in December 1913.
