Jimmy Hill game #
Aston Villa 21st in Division One | Coventry City 11th in Division Two

Villa are rarely in trouble against lack-lustre City. 20,000 away fans see Hill’s gamble in dropping Hale for Brian Hill backfire, and the gap between the two divisions is clear. Machin’s miss near the break is crucial and Tony Hateley’s goals are classy. Glazier keeps the score down.
