Player #438 for Aston Villa, Michael John Pinner, known as Mike Pinner, played as a goalkeeper for the club.

Mike was born in Boston, Lincolnshire on 16 February 1934 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 25 September 1954 aged 20.
Villa had signed Mike from Pegasus AFC in May 1954 but he was only to be used as a back up ‘keeper during his time with Villa.
Mike was the 53rd custodian of the Villa goal in League & Cup football.
Across his 4 games for the club, Mike conceded 9 goals at a rate of 2.25 goals per game.

Mike played his final game for Villa on Tuesday, 23 April 1957 aged 23 before moving on to Arsenal in December 1957 and a nomadic career thereafter followed.
Mike had played under Villa manager Eric Houghton.
A note on player numbering
Players are allotted a number following their debut, and those making debuts in the same match are listed in order of position played
i.e. Goalkeeper -> Defender -> Midfielder -> Forward.
Players making debuts as substitutes in the same game are listed in the order in which they went on.
Matches which have been expunged from the records, including those which were abandoned and the first three fixtures of 1939-40 before the outbreak of the Second World War, are not included. Neither are the unofficial games which were played during the war years before the FA Cup resumed in 1946.
