Biography

Villa Crest 2025.jpg

Player #425 for Aston Villa, Ronald John Jeffries, known as Ron Jeffries, played as a centre forward for the club. Ron played for Villa in 1950-51 appearing twice.

Ron was born in Hall Green, less than 7 miles from Villa Park, on 24 March 1930 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 17 February 1951 at the age of 20.

Villa had signed Ron from Moor Green in December 1950 having been a much sought after player as a local amateur Ron joined Villa as a professional and as a well built centre forward with a good shot proved able to use his head in more ways than one.

Despite his promise Ron went on to make his second and final appearance for the club on Saturday, 10 March 1951 before moving on to Walsall.

Ron had played under Villa manager George Martin.

On This Day

  • Villa are desperately unlucky at White Hart Lane after going two behind within a minute of the restart they fight back to 2-2 only to have a penalty awarded against them with 10 minutes remaining.

  • Joe Rutherford however pulls off an excellent save to keep the scores equal however the referee orders a retake, for no obvious infringement, and this time the spot kick is successful and Villa are harshly beaten at the last by the League leaders.

  • George Martin's Villa lose for the fourth successive game and after ten League games in charge his record reads one win, four draws and five losses.

  • Overall Villa make it five wins, ten draws and fourteen defeats in twenty nine division one games so far this season and sit 21st in the table.

  • Meanwhile, centre forward Ron Jeffries made his Villa debut after moving from Moor Green in August 1950.
