Biography

Player #497 for Aston Villa, John Gavan, played as a goalkeeper for the club.

John played for Villa between 1962-63 and 1965-66 making 12 appearances.

John was born in Walsall, just 8 miles from Villa Park on 8 December 1939 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 23 March 1963 aged 23.

Villa had signed John from Walsall Wood. He had almost joined Blackpool but was persuaded to play for Aston Villa Amateurs and he signed professional forms with Villa in November 1962.

John was the 60th custodian of the Villa goal in League & Cup football but wasn’t a regular starter for Villa. He did make 4 league appearances in each of the 1962-63 and 1965-66 seasons whilst not appearing in the whole of the 1964-64 season.

John did feature 3 times in the league cup and make one further league appearance but he was not to feature in the FA Cup.

Over his 12 appearances for Villa John conceded 23 goals in 12 games at a rate of 1.92 goals per game. Those figures placed John behind the levels of regular Villa ‘keepers and contemporaries Nigel Sims (1.50 in 409) and Geoff Sidebottom (1.74 in 88)

John played his final game for Villa on Saturday, 2 April 1966 aged 26 after 3 years with the club before moving on to Doncaster Rovers in July 1967.

John had played under Villa managers Joe Mercer and Dick Taylor.

On This Day

Joe Mercer's Villa play with the usual seven day separation between League outings for the first time since the 15th December as their wildly interrupted season promises major fixture list congestion in the final two months of the season. Villa fail to score for the fourth time in the last seven and had now lost three in the last six having lost just twice in the previous nineteen games. As a result Villa make it twelve wins, seven draws and eight defeats in twenty seven division one games so far this season as a campaign of such promise begins to falter under the difficult scheduling. Meanwhile, 23 year old goalkeeper John Gavan made his Villa debut after moving from Walsall Wood in November 1962.

On This Day

Joe Mercer's Villa lose three successive games for the first time this season and do so without scoring for the first time since the 1955-56 season under Eric Houghton when they finished 20th in the top flight, just outside the relegation places. Villa’s latest fixture is their second in four days as their wildly interrupted season delivered the inevitable fixture list congestion in the final two months of the season. As a result of Villa’s failure to score for the sixth time in the last nine they make it twelve wins, seven draws and ten defeats in twenty nine division one games so far this season as a campaign of such promise before the fixture interruption continues to falter.
