Played for Villa: 1919-1930
Position: Goalkeeper
Appearances: 186
Taking over from Sam Hardy in 'sticks', Jackson had to compete with Cyril Spiers for his first-team place for much of the 1920s. In the event, Jackson played the more games, and was number-one choice when the 1924 FA Cup Final came along. Over the decade he played close to 200 cup and league games for Villa, before retiring and becoming a school teacher.
