Biography

Player #487 for Aston Villa, Alfred Hale, known as Alfie Hale, played as a forward for the club.
Alan played for Villa in 1960-61 and 1961-62 making 7 appearances and scoring twice.
Alfie was born in Waterford, Ireland, on 28 August 1939 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Wednesday, 19 April 1961 aged 21.
Villa had signed Alfie from Waterford United for a fee of ยฃ4,500 in June 1960.
Alfie made two appearances as Villa finished 9th in their return to Division One but didnโt feature in Villaโs victorious run to the League Cup final in 1960-61 and didnโt play in the two legged final against Rotherham United that was held over to the following season due to fixture congestion.
However, Alfie couldnโt force his way into the Villa first team on a regular basis and went on to make just 5 more first team appearances, scoring twice.
Alfie played his final game for Villa the following season on Saturday, 24 February 1962, still aged just 22 and he moved on to Doncaster Rovers in July 1962.
Alfie had played under manager Joe Mercer.

On This Day
A subdued Villa lose the first half to Leicester and consequently the game despite a significantly improved second half performance. Meanwhile, the referee takes 20 minutes off from his duties as he suffers from stomach cramps.
Joe Mercer's Villa's severe fixture congestion continues as they play their ninth game in twenty six days to make it sixteen wins, nine draws and fifteen defeats in forty games following their return to the top flight.
Meanwhile, forward Alfie Hale made a goalscoring debut for Villa aged 21 after joining from Waterford United for a fee of ยฃ4,500 in June 1960.

Villa might as well have not turned up at Maine Road as they suffer the embarrassment of defeat to still relegation threatened Manchester City and the season looks like it is going to end on a sour note.
Joe Mercer's Villa's play their tenth game in twenty nine days to make it sixteen wins, nine draws and sixteen defeats in forty one games following their return to the top flight.

On This Day
In an injury strewn and at times overly tentative performance, Villa miss the opportunity to rack up the goals. They still climb to 7th in the table however nicely poised ahead of the run in with the Cup 6th round still to come.
Joe Mercerโs Villa extend their unbeaten run to six including five in League to make it twelve wins, seven draws and eleven defeats in thirty Division One games this season.
Meanwhile, forward Alfie Hale made his final Villa appearance aged 22 before moving on to Doncaster Rovers in July 1962. Hale played for Villa in 1960-61 and 1961-62 making seven appearances and scoring twice.
