ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 November 1896
Reigning Champions Villa end a run of four consecutive wins as they can only draw at home with bottom side Bury dropping them to 4th place in the League, one point behind League new boys Liverpool but with 2 games in hand. Villa however were now unbeaten in six games, their best run of the season and a strong title defence looked much more likely than it had done a month earlier. Full back Albert Evans made his Villa debut aged 22 after joining from Barnard Castle FC.

Monday, 9 November 1896
ASTON VILLA v. BURY. Bad weather was experienced at Perry Barr on Saturday. Spencer was playing for the English team in Ireland, and Evans took his place in the Villa team. About ten minutes from the start Athersmith opened the home score with beauty, and then the visitors began to put on a little. Plant proving very dangerous. Owing to Whitehouse being rather weak he cleared with difficulty. Bury, however, found the home backs equal to the emergency, and were gradually driven back to mid-field, when Mills securing looked like getting away. He was kept well in hand, and suddenly the homesters went off with rush, Athersmith giving the Bury custodian all he could manage. Immediately afterwards Wheldon planted in a teaser, but he was ruled off side, a decision with which many did not agree. After this play quieted down. Once Wylie made a determined onslaught on the Villa defence, but Welford dealt with him nicely. Smith centred, but his effort was nullified by slow play. About ten minutes from the interval Millar equalised. The Score at half time was one goal each. When the game was resumed play ruled as fast as one could expect upon a rain-soaked ground. Offside was given against Wheldon when was in likely position, and matters rather warm from free kick in the home favour, but the Villa did not improve upon it, Smith and Wheldon running the ball over between them when practically in the goal month. Directly after Athersmith, with clear field before him, shot the ball over. Although the Villa did by far the most of the pressure, they lost themselves in front of goal in the most aggravating way. Smith played well up to a centre point, but the climax disappointed, Whitehouse once had to clear, but Bury were were seldom dangerous. They, however, succeeded in keeping the Villa in hand. The game was keenly contested to the end, Aston Villa, one; Bury, one.
