50% of the most played fixture in english football too? Not that that’s going to last much longer with the state Villa are in.

I’m guessing the next most played fixture will involve us too.

Scoring directly from a corner to force a rule change.

What was the change? It wasn't allowed before?

It was in 1926, Sam Chedgzoy dribbled into the box direct from a corner. He’d been told about the new rules being vague so he tried it and persuaded the referee that he’d done it legally. The tiles were changed after that.
