Biography

Lion.jpg

Player #120 for Aston Villa, John Samuel Sharp, known as Jack Sharp played as a winger for the club in the outside right position.

Jack played for Villa in the 1897-98 and 1898-99.

Jack was born in Hereford on 15th February 1878 and made his debut for the club as a 19 year old on 2nd October 1897.

Villa had signed Jack from Hereford Thistle and made 24 appearances in his 2 seasons with the club.

Jackโ€™s most prolific season came in 1897-98 when Villa went on to finish 6th.

In the following season Villa went on to win the League title with Jack appearing 8 times and scoring a goal every other game.

Despite his strong showing Jack could not ultimately replace the more established figures amongst Villaโ€™s squad and needed to move on to gain regular first team football.

One of the doubts Villa had about Jackโ€™s long term contribution to the team was his height, or rather lack of it, as George Ramsay and the Committee deemed him too small to play as a striker.

Jack made his final appearance for Villa on 18th February 1899 before moving on to Everton with brother Bert.

Everton came up with a cunning plan to overcome Jackโ€™s โ€˜heightโ€™ issues - they converted him into a winger and enabled him to excel for them over the following decade.

Jack had played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.

Jack passed away in Liverpool on 27th January 1938 aged 59.

Died

27 January 1938, Aged 60

On This Day

  • In an end to end game Villa and Derby create myriad chances but a goal on the stroke of half time hands the home side the advantage as they secure the points in the second half.

  • George Ramsay's reigning Champions' title defence really comes off the rails as they suffer a third consecutive defeat - for the first time since October 1892 - make it no wins in 6 games, and fall back to 5th in the table 7 points behind leaders Sheffield United, having played a game more and with just 8 League games remaining.

On This Day

  • Steve Smith opened the scoring as owing to their lack of participation in the FA Cup, reigning champions Villa play this game one month after their last match against Preston.

  • The break however had seemed to so them good as they swept aside a Derby side who had beaten them twice prior to the hiatus. 

  • In doing so Villa had won two consecutive games having failed to win in the previous 7 games but dropped to 5th in the table, eight points off first place but with two games in hand.
