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.
