On This Day

Villa lose a third consecutive game as they open the season with a disappointing defeat at Valley Parade as last season's runners fail to get their campaign started. 


Goalkeeper Dicky Roose and midfielder Les Askew make their Villa debuts aged 33 and 25 after joining from Huddersfield Town and Norwich City in August 1911 and 1910 respectively.
