ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 17 February 1951

  • Villa are desperately unlucky at White Hart Lane after going two behind within a minute of the restart they fight back to 2-2 only to have a penalty awarded against them with 10 minutes remaining.

  • Joe Rutherford however pulls off an excellent save to keep the scores equal however the referee orders a retake, for no obvious infringement, and this time the spot kick is successful and Villa are harshly beaten at the last by the League leaders.

  • George Martin's Villa lose for the fourth successive game and after ten League games in charge his record reads one win, four draws and five losses.

  • Overall Villa make it five wins, ten draws and fourteen defeats in twenty nine division one games so far this season and sit 21st in the table.

  • Meanwhile, centre forward Ron Jeffries made his Villa debut after moving from Moor Green in August 1950.
