ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 May 1929
  • Reg Chester scores for the fourth time in three games as Villa end the season in 3rd place with 115 goals in all competitions. 

  • Villa missed out on their seventh League title by two points.

  • Villa blitzed the 100 goals in a season barrier for the fourth time registering their highest ever total of 115 league and cup goals at a rate of 2.40 goals per game. 

  • That eclipsed Villa’s previous 100+ seasons of 1912-13 (106) 1891-92 (102) & 1893-94 (100). 

  • 1928-29 started poorly before a run of 28 games in which Villa recorded 19 wins hitting 8, 7, 6 and 5 goals (on 3 occasions), 4 goals twice and 3 goals on 5 occasions. Villa would however concede three or more goals on twelve occasions throughout the season. 

  • As exciting as life was, further trophies were unlikely to be earned until life became just one or two games more consistent under Smith.
