Biography

Biography

Player #50 for Aston Villa, Archibald Lee Goodall known as Archie Goodall played as a forward for the club.

Archie was born in Belfast on 3 January 1865 and made his debut as a 23 year old on 13th October 1888.

Villa had signed Archie from Preston North End for £100.

The transfer of Archie from Preston North End to Villa was notable as being the first transfer ratified by the Football League during a season.

Archie became the first player to play for Villa from anywhere other than England, Scotland and Wales. Despite a strong scoring record and the outlay of £100, Goodall played only a single season with Villa.

Archie’s final game came on 9th March 1889 after which he transferred to Derby County.

Archie played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.

Archie passed away on 20th November 1929 in East Finchley aged 64.

On This Day
Villa secure their second successive draw but this time it's against runaway League leaders Preston who would end the campaign as unbeaten Champions. Thankfully the disgraceful behaviour that Preston manager Sudell exhibited the previous season in the FA Cup did not manifest itself again.

🕒 | FT Burnley 4-0 Aston Villa

On This Day
  • Villa face Burnley for the first time in competitive football, Burnley become the 27th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.

  • Villa start the match with only 8 players on the field due to a dense mist around the ground preventing the team's arrival. Following a delayed arrival of the majority of the Villa team, the referee deems play should commence 8v11. 

  • After five minutes had elapsed a Cox and Devey joined the play but Villa are forced to played the fixture 10v11 as Dawson can not make it through the confitions. Playing with 10 men on a pitch of the heaviest variety, that would render Villa's style of play impossible even in an 11v11 match, inevitably leads to defeat. 

  • Ironically, Villa's previous fixture had seen Derby arrive with 10 men, before being allowed to field 11 from kick off by use of a reserve, and then allowing a 12th man to take the field of play after one of the original line up was injured. No such fortune was afforded Villa at Turf Moor.

  • The sheer quality of their football however further highlights the needlessly shocking and rancourous behaviour of William Sudell in the FA Cup the previous season.

On This Day
  • Albert Allen scores Villa's consolation goals for a second game in succession but despite a troubling end to the season - conceding 13 goals in two games - Villa’s first league campaign has been a success, finishing runners up to invincibles Preston North End. 

  • The intensity, length and demands of a league season however were all too visible as players struggled to adapt to playing every Saturday and the injury toll at the season end was far too much to cope with. 

  • Half Back Archie Wollaston made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Chirk FC. 

  • Winger Thomas Harrison made his second and final appearance for Villa aged 21 before moving on to Halesowen FC. 

  • The versatile Archie Goodall made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to today’s opponents Derby County. Archie had scored 7 goals in 14 appearances during the 1888-89 season.
