Biography

Player #446 for Aston Villa, Dave Hickson, played as a centre forward for the club. Dave played for Villa in 1955-56 making 12 appearances and scoring once.

Dave was born in Ellesmere Port on 30 October 1929 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Monday, 5 September 1955 aged 25.

Villa had signed Dave from Everton for the significant fee of ยฃ17,500 earlier in September 1955 but he would only feature in a 12 game consecutive spell between September and November 1955 before playing his final game for the club on Saturday, 12 November 1955.

Dave moved to Huddersfield Town just days later for ยฃ16,000.

Dave had been an active Villa player for just 68 days and was sold at a ยฃ1,500 loss less than 3 months after joining.

Dave had played under Villa manager Eric Houghton.
