Biography

Player #35 for Aston Villa, John Henry Burton, known as Jack Burton played as a midfielder for the club in a position that was then known as a half back. Jack represented Villa between 1885-86 and 1890-91 including the first 3 football league seasons.

Jack was born in Handsworth less than three miles from Villa’s current ground on 19th September 1863 and made his debut as a 22 year old on 17th October 1885.

Villa had signed Jack from Aston Park Unity.

Jack 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. Jack scored 2 goals on the way to the final in the 13-0 annihilation of Wednesbury Old Athletic at Wellington Road.

Jack retired from football due to a knee injury but during a retrospective review of his career was described as being a play who was as strong as an ox wing-half and who could kick a ball as hard as any player.

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

Jack made 28 League appearances scoring in his final season 1890-91 in the 3-1 win over Accrington at Thorneyholme Road on 21st March 1891 which also happened to be his final game for Villa.

Jack passed away on 10th April 1914 in Hockley, Birmingham aged 50.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Five nil to the good after just 46' Villa's excellent performance is overshadowed as four minutes from full time the Walsall Town crowd invaded the pitch forcing the game to be abandoned. Serious disturbances followed. But the bad behaviour wasn't just confined to the crowd; the Walsall boardroom recorded a post-match complaint for the result to be over-turned as they claimed that Villa's Wally Jones lived more than 6 miles from the Wellington Road ground. Goalkeeper Charlie Hobson, defender Wally Jones, half back Jack Burton & forward Richmond Davis made their FA Cup debuts for Villa.

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 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.

Albert Allen scores Villa's consolation as an injury ravaged Villa record a 1-8 scoreline that was the biggest defeat in all competitions until Paul Lambert rocked up at Villa Park for the 2012-13 season.
Meanwhile, this was the first Villa game in which Referee Clegg had officiated since his disgraceful post match claims in the previous season's FA Cup.
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.
Full back Bob Thomas made his sole appearance for Villa having joined from from Cocknage FC before transferring to Walsall Town.

On This Day

Albert Allen scores Villa's consolation goals for a second game in succession but despite a troubling end to the season - conceding 13 goals in two games - Villa’s first league campaign has been a success, finishing runners up to invincibles Preston North End.
The intensity, length and demands of a league season however were all too visible as players struggled to adapt to playing every Saturday and the injury toll at the season end was far too much to cope with.
Half Back Archie Wollaston made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Chirk FC.
Winger Thomas Harrison made his second and final appearance for Villa aged 21 before moving on to Halesowen FC.
The versatile Archie Goodall made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to today’s opponents Derby County. Archie had scored 7 goals in 14 appearances during the 1888-89 season.

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.
