Biography

Player #36 for Aston Villa, Richmond Davis played as a forward for the club. Richmond represented Villa in the 1885-86 and 1886-87 FA Cup Campaigns.

Richmond was born in Walsall less than ten miles from Villa’s current ground in April 1861 and made his debut as a 24 year old on 17th October 1885.

Villa had signed Richmond from Walsall Swifts.

Richmond 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. Richmond scored 3 goals on the way to the final.

Richmond retired from football due to a serious knee injury.

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.

🕒 | FT Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa
🕒 | AET Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Aston 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.
