On This Day

The original match - won by Villa - and in effect the opening game of the 1892-93 campaign for both clubs was subsequently decided to be treated as a ‘friendly’ game thereby necessitating this replay. Centre forward George Davis scored on his sole appearance for Villa aged 22 after joining from Aston Manor. Davis moved on to Smethwick Centaur.
