Biography
Player #545 for Aston Villa, Frederick Mwila known as Freddie Mwila played as a midfielder for the club in 1969-70 making 1 appearances.
Freddie was born in Kasama, Zambia on 6 July 1946 and he made his sole appearance for Villa on Saturday, 15 November 1969 aged 23.
Tommy Docherty had signed Freddie from Atlanta Chiefs in a combined deal with fellow Zambian Emment Kapengwe becoming the first African players to sign for the club.
Docherty had spotted the pair in a pre-season friendly and immediately moved to sign them up despite the huge step up in football from the NASL to the second tier in England.
Mwila immediately struggled as did Docherty and to add insult to injury as he led Villa to the third tier, the failed former Villa boss Docherty was alleged to have enticed both Mwila and his compatriot Kapengwe away from the Villa following his sacking saying โLook, I am going away elsewhere but if you want to stay, you are at liberty to do so.โ
Both left Villa at the end of the season mid-way through their two-year deals and returned to Zambian football before returning to Atlanta Chiefs in July 1970.

On This Day
After 20 games and three wins Villa sit two points off the bottom of the table one point from safety as Watford - also held to a goalless draw - sit bottom. But focus lies elsewhere as the restless fan base take out their ire on Lionel Martin whilst Tommy Docherty blames all and sundry. Meanwhile, behind the scenes turmoil and discipline leave the club looking fractured on and off the pitch.
Tommy Docherty's Villa fail to win for the seventeenth time in twenty League games to make it three wins, eight draws and nine losses in twenty division two games to sit bottom of the table. Meanwhile, Docherty handed a debut to Zambian forward Freddie Mwila, 23, who had joined from Atlanta Chiefs in September alongside debutant from the previous fixture, Emment Kapengwe. The game would proved to be Mwila's sole appearance for Villa.
