Biography
Player #405 for Aston Villa, William Emmanuel Evans, known as Billy Evans, played as a forward for the club. Billy played for Villa between 1946-47 and 1948-49 making 7 appearances and scoring 3 goals.
Billy was born in Aston, less than a mile from Villa Park, on 5 September 1921 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 26 April 1947 at the age of 25.
Villa had signed Billy from Linread Works FC in August 1946 and he signed professional forms with Villa the following month, September 1946.
Billy arrived at Villa Park having learnt his trade as part of the Birmingham Works football environment and immediately lit up the first team from his debut at the end of the 1946-47 season. A dashing inside forward with speed and a good shot, Billy hit 3 goals in 4 appearances in his debut season but he was only to appear in the league for Villa on a further 2 occasions the following season.
Billyโs FA Cup debut was his final game for Villa, on Saturday, 22 January 1949, his only game for the club that season having not featured at all in the league, before moving on to Notts County in June 1949.
Billy had played under manager Alex Massie.
Billy passed away from lung cancer in Grimsby in August 1960 aged just 38.

On This Day
Villa lose for the first time in nine as they are beaten by Wolves but that is barely the story.
Albert J Brown is injured as is Joe Rutherford after 40 minutes, both are forced to retire from the field of play to leave Villa with 9 men and Harry Parkes in goal.
Rutherford suffers a dislocated finger and does not return in goal but does take a place in the outfield vacated by... Albert J Brown who had recovered sufficiently from his own injury to take Parkes' place in goal.
Despite this Villa manage to equalise but are undone by a 68' winner despte Brown's best efforts.
Villa fall back to joint 5th.

๐ | HT Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
๐ | FT Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
On This Day
Villa return to League action for the first time in three weeks and the break seems to have done them the world of good as Billy Goffin scores an early goal capitalising on a goalkeeping error to beat Arsenal at Villa Park.
Villa now have 8 league wins this season and two in their last nine.
Villa keep their second League clean sheet of the season and first since November.
Villa's win however still leaves Alex Massie's side joint bottom of the table alongside Huddersfield and Preston, four points behind Everton.
Forward Billy Evans made his seventh and final appearance for Villa aged 27 before moving on to Notts County in June 1949.
