Played for Villa: 1925-1935
Position: Centre forward and winger
Appearances: 97
Chester was a fine servant for Aston Villa, but could never get out of the shadows of other notable forwards of the day. He appeared only sporadically, his best spell being 1928-1930 when he played 39 times over two seasons, scoring 18 goals including a hat-trick against Huddersfield. His finally tally of 34 career goals is respectable given that he played only 97 matches for Villa, but given that Pongo Waring scored more in a single season, Chester was always destined to be second choice. After a decade at Villa he was sold on to Man United.
