  • Villa fail to score for the first time this season as they lose consecutive games to make it six wins, six draws and four defeats in their sixteen division one games so far this season. 

  • Meanwhile, winger Edmund Eyre made his Villa debut aged 26 after moving from Birmingham earlier this month. 

  • Midfielder Rowland Codling made his final appearance aged 28 before moving onto Northampton Town in July 1909 after making 82 appearances over his four seasons with the club.
