Picture
Alex Leake
(1871-1938)

Played for Villa: 1902-1907
Position: Midfield
Appearances: 142

Another respected England international from Villa's Edwardian side who won the FA Cup in 1905 - Leake something of an old man at 33. Villa had secured him in 1902 after a lengthy spell as captain of Small Heath [Birmingham City] where he had just suffered relegation, and for the next half-decade he was a regular in the Villa team. He represented his country five times, and is also noted for exposing match-fixing by Manchester City, following an attempted bribe.
