Biography

Player #40 for Aston Villa, Harry Richard Yates, nicknamed Tubby, played as a midfielder for the club in a position then known as right half. Harry represented Villa between 1886-87 and 1889-90.

Harry was born in Walsall just ten miles from Villa’s current ground in August 1861 and made his debut as a 25 year old on 30th October 1886.

Villa had signed Harry from Walsall Swifts and he went on to represent the club 29 times across his three seasons at the club.

Harry played in 9 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.

Harry made 13 League appearances in the 1888-89 league season helping Villa clinch 2nd place behind runaway leaders Preston North End.

Harry was described by contemporaries as “a solid defender with immense power to go with hits 14 stone weight”. Hence the nickname ‘Tubby’.

Harry’s last game for Villa came on 7th December 1899 and he then moved on to Walsall.

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

Harry passed away in 1932 in Birmingham aged 71.

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.

Villa lose to runaway league leaders Preston North End having drawn against the 'invincibles' in the return fixture.

Forward Tommy Green made his final Villa appearance aged 25 before moving on to Kidderminster Harriers. Despite scoring 15 goals in the campaign and creating numerous goals for his team-mates, Green was allowed to leave.
