Aston Villa played the 1963–64 English football season in the Football League First Division. Winning the League Cupin1961 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.[1]

John Lennon's In His Own Write received critical acclaim when published in 1964,[2] with favourable reviews in London's The Sunday Times and The Observer.[3] Among the most popular poems in the collection was "Deaf Ted, Danoota, (and me)".[4] with the fifth verse:

Thorg Billy grows and Burnley ten,
And Aston Villa three
We clobber ever gallup
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.[5]

In the Second City derby Villa lost the home fixture but held Birmingham to a draw at St Andrews.[6]

There were debuts for Mick Wright (282), Tony Hateley (127), Dave Pountney (113), Graham Parker (21), Bob Wilson (9), and Stan Horne (6).[7]
