Biography

Player #45 for Aston Villa, Thomas Charles Walter Green, known as Tommy Green, played as a forward for the club.

Tommy represented Villa between 1887-88 and 1888-89.

Tommy was born in Worcester on 7th August 1863 and made his debut as a 24 year old on 15th October 1887.

Villa had signed Tommy from West Bromwich Albion and he went on to represent the club for two seasons.

Tommy scored Villa´s first league goal, in the inaugural league fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 8 September 1888 that also featured an infamous Gershom Cox own goal.

Described as an enthusiastic forward, Tommy went on to hit a hat-trick in the 1888-89 9-1 rout of Notts County - his only league season - as Villa went on to clinch the runner up spot.

Despite scoring at a rate of more than 1 every other match, Tommy was transferred away from Villa to newly formed Kidderminster Harriers just a year later.

Tommy’s final game for Villa came on 2nd March 1889 aged 25 having played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.

Tommy passed away on 2nd October 1923 in Droitwich aged 60.

2 October 1923, Aged 60

Post Match.

Suddell of Preston North End totally reneges on his in game protests.

The match officials and FA however call for a reply under Cup tie conditions.

Suddell refuses such a move and threatens to pull Preston North End from the competition in protest unless the result is upheld.

All parties assume this is a fit of pique and sense will prevail in Preston however Villa are minded to not push the matter so as to not damage the credibility of the competition and relationships between the clubs.

Preston have no such magnanimous pretensions to the disgust of the footballing fraternity.

Umpires C. J. Hughes (Cheshire) and M. P. Betts (Harrow) confirm that both captains had agreed to play the match as a friendly on the second encroachment with Villa one goal to the good.

Referee Clegg denies the recollection of both captains and umpires and claims that Villa had not concurred with the game being treated as a friendly.

Oddly this evidence is accepted by the FA.

As a consequence the FA claim they can only judge whether Preston’s protest with the score at 0-0 means they are unable to claim the game at 3-1, and whether Villa’s alleged (by one individual, contested by four) failure to protest meant Villa were unable to retrospectively support Preston’s protest.

When the FA meet one week later they determine that Preston are awarded the match.

They do so whilst ignoring the basis upon which they had claimed the case would have been judged, in itself that basis, due to some unorthodox statements from referee Clegg, effectively absolved Preston of any responsibility for their protest and counter protests.

The FA decided Preston, should be awarded the game as “Aston Villa had not taken sufficient precautions for keeping the crowd outside the enclosure”.

Villa did not challenge the decision despite the wildly inconsistent nature of the referee’s recollections, the FA’s claims and basis for judgement and the abhorrent behaviour of Suddell and Preston North End.

Preston would end as FA Cup runners up to West Bromwich Albion.

On This Day

Villa face Preston North End for the first time in competitive football, Preston become the 21st team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Secretary Manager George Ramsay's Villa face off against the mighty North End in a game billed as "The Great Football Match", that sees the two best teams in the land play one another for the first time in League or Cup football. But the game is overshadowed by controversy caused by the utterly shabby behaviour of referee Clegg and Preston's Suddell. By FA dictat the holders are knocked out in the fifth round.

Archie Goodall scores his second consecutive brace to earn the points for Villa as they beat a County side who amazingly played just one of the side they fielded against Villa three months earlier.
Wing half Archie Wollaston made his Villa debut aged 23 after joining from Stafford Road FC.
Outside left Thomas Harrison made his Villa debut aged 21 after joining from Coombes Wood FC.

🕒 | FT Burnley 4-0 Aston Villa

On This Day

Villa face Burnley for the first time in competitive football, Burnley become the 27th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Villa started the match with only 8 players on the field due to a dense mist around the ground preventing the team's arrival. Following a delayed arrival of the majority of the Villa team, the referee deems play should commence 8v11. After five minutes had elapsed a Cox and Devey joined the play but Villa are forced to played the fixture 10v11 as Dawson can not make it through the confitions. Playing with 10 men on a pitch of the heaviest variety, that would render Villa's style of play impossible even in an 11v11 match, inevitably leads to defeat. Ironically, Villa's previous fixture had seen Derby arrive with 10 men, before being allowed to field 11 from kick off by use of a reserve, and then allowing a 12th man to take the field of play after one of the original line up was injured. No such fortune was afforded Villa at Turf Moor.

On This Day

Villa lose to runaway league leaders Preston North End having drawn against the 'invincibles' in the return fixture. The sheer quality of their football however further highlights the needlessly shocking and rancourous behaviour of William Sudell in the FA Cup the previous season.

On This Day

An injury ravaged Villa suffer their biggest defeat in all competitions until Paul Lambert rocked up at Villa Park for the 2012-13 season. Meanwhile, this was the first Villa game in which Referee Clegg had officiated since his disgraceful post match claims in the previous season's FA Cup. Forward Tommy Green made his final Villa appearance aged 25 before moving on to Kidderminster Harriers. Despite scoring 15 goals in the campaign and creating numerous goals for his team-mates, Green was allowed to leave. Full back Bob Thomas made his sole appearance for Villa having joined from from Cocknage FC before transferring to Walsall Town.
