Biography

Player #340 for Aston Villa, Reginald Miles, known as Reg Miles, played as a goalkeeper for the club. Reg played for Villa in 1930-31 making 16 appearances.
Reg was born in Enfield, Middlesex on 8 July 1905 and made his debut appearance for Villa on the 24 January 1931 aged 25.
Villa had signed Reg from he British Army in November 1930 and from debut he was an ever-present in goal for Villa until the end of that season after which he moved on to Dulwich Hamlet in August 1931 after his contract was cancelled.
Reg was the 42nd custodian of the Villa goal in League and Cup football.
Ironically Reg had proved himself a statistically decent โkeeper during his brief Villa career conceding 23 in his 16 games at a rate of 1.44 goals per game which compared favourably to his contemporaries such as Percy Maggs (2.07) and Fred Biddleston (1.57).
Reg had played under the Billy Smith led Management Committee
Reg passed away in Enfield in 1978 aged 73.

On This Day
Villa take an early lead at Leeds Road just like they had 6 years to the day previously but this time rather than shipping three goals in the second half they score 5, 4 coming in 17 minutes as Huddersfield are mercilessly ripped apart.
Pongo Waring scored his THIRTY FOURTH goal in twenty seven games as Villa extend their unbeaten run to four, winning three, to make it fifteen wins, eight draws and six defeats in their twenty nine division one games having scored NINETY goals.
The latest goalscoring feat of a remarkable period also saw Eric Houghton score his 22nd of the campaign and Waring becoming the first Villa player to score more than 32 league goals in a season beating Len Capewellโs previous record haul set in 1925-26.
