Biography

Villa Crest 2025.jpg

Player #6 for Aston Villa, Elisha Davis, known as Eli Davis played as a midfielder for the club. Eli made his debut in the 1879-80 FA Cup campaign - Villaโ€™s first entry into the competition.

Eli was born in Dudley, ten miles from the current Villa ground, in December 1855 and made his debut as a 24 year old on the 13th December 1879.

Villa had signed Eli from Wednesbury Strollers and he went on to represent the club for six successive seasons from 1879-80 to 1884-85.

Eli was described in teammate Archie Hunterโ€™s book as:

โ€œAnother special favourite with the spectators โ€ฆ who worked the left wing and was noted for the really wonderful way in which he screwed the ball from the corner with his left foot. As everybody knows, a forward is not much good unless he can take the ball up and centre it in goal, and in doing this Eli excelled. He was a very brilliant and a very sure player.โ€

Eliโ€™s final game came on 10th January 1885 having reached a career best 5th Round of the FA Cup in 1882-83. Eli subsequently retired from football aged 29 due to a knee injury.

Eli played in the era when team selection was made by a Management Committee rather than the latter day more typical Manager role which from the 1884-85 season was led by George Ramsey.

Eli passed away in Birmingham on 20th December 1897 aged just 42.

On This Day

  • Villa play their first ever home FA Cup tie and comprehensively beat Stafford Road yet it would still prove to be their final FA Cup outing of the season. 

  • Having secured a draw in the original tie at the Wolverhampton ground of the Stafford Road Railway Works Football Club, 

  • Villa sweep aside their opponents in the replay at Wellington Road. 

  • Villa however, still an amateur and pecuniary disadvantaged club, had lost the toss for home status in the third round tie with Oxford University and withdrew from the competition being unable to formulate a side capable of fulfilling the fixture. 

  • Meanwhile, forward and future Villa leader George Ramsay made his sole appearance for Villa in the FA Cup whilst goalkeeper John Ball and forward Billy Mason made their final appearances for Villa.
