ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 25 April 1936

Villa end the season on defeat and are relegated for the first time in their history as the appointment of their first manager in Jimmy McMullan delivers an unprecedented campaign in all the wrong ways. That however doesn’t tell the full story as 1936 had proved far stronger than 1935 with Villa recording eight wins in nineteen League games compared to five in twenty three in 1935 whilst Villa fell to six defeats across the period having lost fourteen prior to New Years’ Day. Those first twenty three games had seen seventy four goals conceded compared to thirty six in the final nineteen and Villa conceded four or more goals on only two occasions in 1936 compared to nine times in 1935 including three games where they conceded seven. This famous club with six FA Cups and six League Titles would play in the second tier of English football for the first time in the 1936-37 season. The only bright spot of the season was Villa’s remarkable attendance figures - averaging 41,852 across the season. Meanwhile, midfielder Billy Kingdon, 30, made the last of his 240 appearances for Villa before moving on to Southampton in June 1936 whilst winger Jackie Williams, 25, made his seventeenth and final appearance before moving on to Ipswich Town in July 1936.
