Played for Villa: 1893-1898
Position: Forward
Appearances: 95
An England international whose goals helped Villa get to - and stay at - the top in the 1890s. In the 1895 Cup Final, he scored after 30 seconds, a record which stood for more than a century. He missed the 1897 final, and so missed out on the 'double', but won his third league title anyway that same year. He was later a Villa scout and also played for a few smaller clubs before becoming a trainer.
