I am enjoying these articles, with their blow by blow account of matches, and bringing back memories of Villa games attended with my dad as a child. One that stands out is Plymouth away, in August 1967, a 2-1 defeat, which we were able to go to owing to the fact that we were on holiday in Paignton at the time; as a result, my mum also went to this match, one of only three that I think she ever went to.
Pedant alert.The team photo with the article is 1968/69. That's the late Brian Tiler in the middle front, signed by The Doc in December 1968.
