On This Day
Villa play their first ever home FA Cup tie and comprehensively beat Stafford Road yet it would still prove to be their final FA Cup outing of the season.
Having secured a draw in the original tie at the Wolverhampton ground of the Stafford Road Railway Works Football Club,
Villa sweep aside their opponents in the replay at Wellington Road.
Villa however, still an amateur and pecuniary disadvantaged club, had lost the toss for home status in the third round tie with Oxford University and withdrew from the competition being unable to formulate a side capable of fulfilling the fixture.
Meanwhile, forward and future Villa leader George Ramsay made his sole appearance for Villa in the FA Cup whilst goalkeeper John Ball and forward Billy Mason made their final appearances for Villa.
