On This Day

Villa's mini wobble continues as they can only draw against their Sheffield bogey, having lost debutant 'keeper Edward Harris to injury for much of the first half and having 5 first team regulars absent meant the result, in context, was a positive one for the club that still sat top of the table. Goalkeeper Edward Harris made his one and only appearance for Villa aged 20 after joining from Redditch Excelsior. Harris would later move on to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Forward Billy Dorrell made his final appearance for Villa aged 23 before moving on to Leicester Fosse.
