ON THIS DAY
Friday, 26 December 1924
  • Centre forward Arthur Phoenix scores a brace on his Villa debut aged 22 after joining from Birmingham in May 1924 but it's a patched up Villa who do the business after losing 5 players to injury in the previous day's game at Elland Road.

  • One day after shipping six against them, Villa beat Leeds on Boxing day to make it seven wins, ten draws and five defeats in twenty two division one games.
