On This Day
  • Harry Hampton scores for the first time in three and the eighth time in thirteen as Villa are held by Wednesday but it could have more save for a penalty awarded just after half time for hands that to all observers was deemed very harsh indeed.

  • Villa are held by Wednesday and are now without a League victory in five games as they make it twelve wins, four draws and ten defeats in twenty six division one games so far this season. 

  • Meanwhile, centre back Michael Noon made his final appearance for Villa aged 30 before moving on to Plymouth Argyle in June 1906. Noon had represented Villa 81 times, scoring once over his six seasons with the club, winning the league title in 1899-00.

On This Day
Villa win consecutive games to end the season in 8th place having recorded eighteen wins, five draws and fifteen defeats in their thirty eight division one games. A season that had been notable for the number of debuts and final appearances - including a significant portion who both first appeared, and left in the same season, and sometimes the same month - underlined the status of transition that the club was in. The season itself couldnโ€™t have been more contrasting to the exciting, goal hungry season of 1904-05 and much more stability was to be needed for 1906-07 if Villa were to return to trophy winning form.

Villa suffer a second loss in three games as their decent early form takes a wobble to make it six wins, a draw and three losses in ten division one games so far this season. Meanwhile, centre back John Boden and midfielder Billy Matthews made their final appearances for Villa aged 24 and 26 before moving on to Northwich Victoria in August 1907 and Notts County in November 1906 respectively. Boden had scored twice in eighteen appearances since his debut in February 1906 whilst Matthews scored 12 goals in 26 games since his debut in March 1904.
