On This Day
Harry Hampton scores for the eighth time in nine games as Villa survive an onslaught of poor tackles from a Sheffield United team who end the game with every one of their 11 having been warned about their play by the referee,
Villa record successive victories for only the second time this season to make it eight wins, four draws and seven defeats in their nineteen division one games.
Meanwhile, forward John Laidlaw made his second and final appearance for Villa aged 22 before moving on to Kilmarnock in June 1914,
Whilst goalkeeper Bob Chandler made his sole appearance for Villa aged 19 after joining from Glossop North End in August 1913. Bob moved on to Walsall in September 1914.
