Biography

Player #106 for Aston Villa, William Dorrell, known as Billy Dorrell, played as a forward for the club.
Billy represented Villa in 1894-95 and 1895-96.
Billy was born in Aston, Birmingham in 1872 and made his debut as a 22 year old on 8th September 1894.
Villa had signed Billy from Leicester Fosse for a then club record of £250 and he went on to represent the club 11 times across his 2 seasons at the club.
In his short time with the Villa Billy contributed to the 1894-95 FA Cup win and the 1895-96 League Championship victory.
Billy scored twice in the 7-1 demolition of Newcastle United in the 2nd Round at Wellington Road helping set Villa on the road to the 1894-95 FA Cup final hosted at Crystal Palace, London where Villa once again beat West Bromwich Albion, this time 1-0.
In the following season Billy appeared in 2 league games in the 1895-96 Championship winning season scoring once in the 3-1 over Blackburn Rovers at Wellington Road.
Billy’s final game for Villa came on the 16th November 1895 aged 23 following which he rejoined Leicester Fosse.

🕒 | FT Everton 4-2 Aston Villa
On This Day
A really poor refereeing performance allows Everton to build a four goal lead with two illegitimate goals and then compounds Villa's misfortune by disallowing their second half strike.
Reigning Champions Villa's lose their first game in 10 and as a result Everton are gifted two points to go level with Villa and Sunderland at the top of the table.
League title winning goalkeeper Bill Dunning played his final game for Villa. Bill conceded 124 goals in 69 appearances at a rate of 1.80 goals per game.
