On This Day
Saturday, 29 August 1936
Frank Broome scores a brace in Villa's first ever season in the second tier of English football as they open the campaign with a win.
Jimmy Hogan takes charge of Villa for the first time since his appointment earlier this month to replace Jimmy McMullan who had relegated Villa in 1935-36.
The well travelled Hogan had significantly more experience than his predecessor having managed ten clubs at home and abroad as well as leading the Dutch and Swiss national teams and leading the Austrians in the 1936 Berlin Olympics from where he took charge of Villa.
Winger Andy Kerr made his Villa debut aged 19 after joining from Medomsley Juniors in July 1936.
