  • Villa compete in a Boxing Day fixture for the first time without George Ramsay at the helm and for the first time in 38 years.

  • Bizarrely in the game but unable to score Villa suffer a huge Boxing Day defeat at the Baseball Ground to make it eight wins, four draws and nine defeats in their twenty one division one games. 

  • Midfielder Joe Tate made his Villa debut aged 23 after joining from Cradley Heath for £400.

  • Goalkeeper Joe Hickman made his second and final Villa two days after his debut aged 26 having conceded 9 goals in 2 games.
