Played for Villa: 1935-1936
Position: Centre forward
Appearances: 6
Perhaps the most disappointing failure of Villa's big-money signings of 1935, Palethorpe played just half a dozen times for the club during the winter months. He scored on his debut against Chelsea, but followed up a promising start with just one more strike - Villa's only goal in the Arsenal debacle of December 14. He was bought for £2,500 from Sheffield Wednesday, and offloaded to Crystal Palace the following year. Much ado about nothing, so far as Villa were concerned.
