Villa played in the First Division. Winning the League Cup in 1961 had been the recent pinnacle for the club. Although Villa finished seventh in 1961–62, the following season saw the beginning of a decline in form that would see them finish in 15th place in 1963 and fourth from the bottom in 1964. Manager Joe Mercer parted company with the club in July 1964 because of these results and his declining health.Ward, Adam, p. 97, "Mercer began to suffer ill health and in 1964 he left the club."
