Biography

Player #38 for Aston Villa, Frank Coulton played as a defender for the club. Frank represented Villa between 1886-87 and 1891-92.

Frank was born in Walsall just ten miles from Villa’s current ground in February 1868 and made his debut as a 18 year old on 30th October 1886.

Villa had signed Frank from Walsall Swifts and he went on to represent the club 54 times across his eight seasons at the club.

Frank played all of the 10 games in Villa’s victorious 1886-87 FA Cup campaign, including the final at the Kennington Oval that hosted the 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Frank also made 2 appearances in the run to the 1891-92 FA Cup Final.

Frank was often described as a ‘stylish’ full-back and indeed proved to be a key member of Villa’s early years of the football league.

Frank made 31 League appearances in his first 2 league seasons but only 4 across the next 4 season. His best league season to which he made a material contribution was a runners place in 1888-89 the season in which he made his most appearances - 19.

Frank’s final game came on 5th March 1892 at the age of 24 when he was forced into retirement by a knee injury.

Although retiring early he remained a familiar face to Villa fans after becoming a licensee of various Birmingham pubs, including The Fluter’s Arms in Deritend, The Red House on Broad Street, and the White Horse on Constitution Hill.

Frank had played his entire Villa career under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.

Frank passed away on 11th March 1929 in Sparkhill, Birmingham aged 61.

On This Day

Secretary Manager George Ramsay's Villa face Wolves in the replay over a month after the first tie was played and once again an additional half hour is needed to try and separate the sides to no avail.
Albert Brown scores his eighth goal in four games but Villa are held once again by Wolves in the FA Cup ahead of a second replay - once again at Dudley Road.
Both captains ahead of kick off are adamant the game should not proceed due to the frozen conditions however the officials insisted the game was played.
Huge controversy followed however as the Football Association subsequently deemed the match to have "not been an FA Cup tie" and ordered the tie to be replayed (it was going to be anyway) but to be replayed at Wolverhampton.
Unsurprisingly there were huge ramifications and recriminations but Villa duly attended with a full strength side only to be held once again.

Post Match.

Suddell of Preston North End totally reneges on his in game protests.

The match officials and FA however call for a reply under Cup tie conditions.

Suddell refuses such a move and threatens to pull Preston North End from the competition in protest unless the result is upheld.

All parties assume this is a fit of pique and sense will prevail in Preston however Villa are minded to not push the matter so as to not damage the credibility of the competition and relationships between the clubs.

Preston have no such magnanimous pretensions to the disgust of the footballing fraternity.

Umpires C. J. Hughes (Cheshire) and M. P. Betts (Harrow) confirm that both captains had agreed to play the match as a friendly on the second encroachment with Villa one goal to the good.

Referee Clegg denies the recollection of both captains and umpires and claims that Villa had not concurred with the game being treated as a friendly.

Oddly this evidence is accepted by the FA.

As a consequence the FA claim they can only judge whether Preston’s protest with the score at 0-0 means they are unable to claim the game at 3-1, and whether Villa’s alleged (by one individual, contested by four) failure to protest meant Villa were unable to retrospectively support Preston’s protest.

When the FA meet one week later they determine that Preston are awarded the match.

They do so whilst ignoring the basis upon which they had claimed the case would have been judged, in itself that basis, due to some unorthodox statements from referee Clegg, effectively absolved Preston of any responsibility for their protest and counter protests.

The FA decided Preston, should be awarded the game as “Aston Villa had not taken sufficient precautions for keeping the crowd outside the enclosure”.

Villa did not challenge the decision despite the wildly inconsistent nature of the referee’s recollections, the FA’s claims and basis for judgement and the abhorrent behaviour of Suddell and Preston North End.

Preston would end as FA Cup runners up to West Bromwich Albion.

On This Day

Disgraceful and shabby behaviour from referee Clegg and Preston's Suddell see the game decided in an office at the Oval seven days on from the call of time.
Villa face Preston North End for the first time in competitive football, Preston become the 21st team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Secretary Manager George Ramsay's Villa face off against the mighty North End in a game billed as "The Great Football Match", that sees the two best teams in the land play one another for the first time in League or Cup football. But the game is overshadowed by controversy caused by the utterly shabby behaviour of referee Clegg and Preston's Suddell. By FA dictat the holders are knocked out in the fifth round.

🕒 | FT Preston North End 1-1 Aston Villa

On This Day

Villa secure their second successive draw but this time it's against runaway League leaders Preston who would end the campaign as unbeaten Champions. Thankfully the disgraceful behaviour that Preston manager Sudell exhibited the previous season in the FA Cup did not manifest itself again.

🕒 | FT Burnley 4-0 Aston Villa

On This Day

Villa face Burnley for the first time in competitive football, Burnley become the 27th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Villa start the match with only 8 players on the field due to a dense mist around the ground preventing the team's arrival. Following a delayed arrival of the majority of the Villa team, the referee deems play should commence 8v11.
After five minutes had elapsed a Cox and Devey joined the play but Villa are forced to played the fixture 10v11 as Dawson can not make it through the confitions. Playing with 10 men on a pitch of the heaviest variety, that would render Villa's style of play impossible even in an 11v11 match, inevitably leads to defeat.
Ironically, Villa's previous fixture had seen Derby arrive with 10 men, before being allowed to field 11 from kick off by use of a reserve, and then allowing a 12th man to take the field of play after one of the original line up was injured. No such fortune was afforded Villa at Turf Moor.

Villa lose four successive games for the first time in their history having conceded twelve goal in two games and fall to eight in the table - their lowest ever position.
However the result and run of form were overshadowed, as, after playing the first half of the previous game with ten men due to player absence, Villa were once again reduced to ten men after Archie Hunter fell ill at the interval.
The illness Hunter suffered was sadly far more serious than the ‘fainting’ episode that was reported as the Villa great had actually suffered a heart attack which would end his football career at the age of 30 having played for Villa since their first FA Cup outing in 1879.
