On This Day
Jimmy McMullan makes an inauspicious start to life as Villa's first ever full time managerial appointment as his charges fall to defeat at the team with three names. Centre back Jimmy Allen and full back George Beeson made their Villa debuts aged 24 and 28 after moving from Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday in June 1934 and this month respectively.
