Biography

Player #11 for Aston Villa, Andrew Hunter, known as Andy Hunter played as a forward for the club. Andy made his debut in the 1879-80 FA Cup campaign - Villa’s first entry into the competition.

Andy was born in Joppa, Scotland on 1st August 1864 and was the brother of Villa legend Archie Hunter.

Andy made his debut as a 15 year old on the 13th December 1879 after Villa had signed him from Vale of Leven FC and he went on to represent the club for four successive seasons from 1879-80 to 1882-83.

Andy became Villa’s first goalscorer in the FA Cup when he netted in the 1-1 draw in the FA Cup tie with Stafford Road on Saturday, 13 December 1879. Andy was also Villa’s youngest ever goalscorer - just 15 years old.

Andy’s final game came on 3rd March 1883 having reached a career best 5th Round of the FA Cup that season before having to retire from football through illness and a thigh injury aged just 18.

Andy in a tragic twist of fate passed away of a heart attack on 12th June 1888 aged just 23 after emigrating to Australia. His older brother Archie would similarly suffer a heart attack less than two years later on 4th January 1890 in the 7-0 loss to Everton during which he suffered the heart attack having been believed at half time to have just fainted.

On This Day

Having secured a draw in the original tie at the Wolverhampton ground of the Stafford Road Railway Works Football Club, Villa sweep aside their opponents in the replay at Wellington Road. Villa however, still an amateur and pecuniary disadvantaged club, had lost the toss for home status in the third round tie with Oxford University and withdrew from the competition being unable to formulate a side capable of fulfilling the fixture. Meanwhile, forward and future Villa leader George Ramsay made his sole appearance for Villa in the FA Cup whilst goalkeeper John Ball and forward Billy Mason made their final appearances for Villa.

On This Day

Villa failed to qualify for their first FA Cup semi final following a disputed winning goal for the hosts. With the game level at 3-3 Notts County scored what would prove to be the winner before Villa had a goal ruled out despite it being handled on the line by an opposition player thereby preventing its legitimate entry into the net. Wing half David Anderson, forward Andy Hunter, goalkeeper Tommy Mason and half back Ted Lee made their final FA Cup appearances for Villa.
