Arthur Loach
Player #43 for Aston Villa, Arthur Albert Loach played as a forward for the club. Arthur represented Villa three times during the 1886-87 FA Cup campaign.
Arthur was born in West Bromwich, less than seven miles from the current Villa ground, in November 1863 and made his debut as a 23 year old on 30th October 1886.
Villa had signed Arthur from West Bromwich Albion in what was to be the first transfer between the clubs.
Arthur played in 3 of the 10 games in Villa’s victorious 1886-87 FA Cup campaign. Arthur scored 3 goals on the way to the final including 2 in the 13-0 1st Round annihilation of Wednesbury Old Athletic.
Arthur’s final game for Villa came just over a month after his debut on the 11th December 1886. Arthur moved on to Rhyl FC.
Arthur played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.
Arthur passed away in Rhyl in February 1958 aged 94 - having at that point become the oldest living Villa player.
