Biography

Player #456 for Aston Villa, Dennis Jackson, played as a full back for the club. Dennis played for Villa between 1956-57 and 1958-59 making 8 appearances.
Dennis was born in Birmingham, just 3 miles from Villa Park, on 8 March 1932 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Wednesday, 10 April 1957 aged 25.
Villa had signed Dennis from Hednesford Town and he signed professional forms with the club in October 1954 and he appeared for the club twice in his debut season however he was not part of the victorious 1956-57 FA Cup campaign that led to the 2-1 triumph over Manchester United in the final held at Wembley Stadium in front of a crowd of 99,225 when Peter McParland scored twice to win Villa the Cup for a record seventh time.
Dennis made his most appearances in a single season - 5 - in 1958-59 but had the misfortune to experience relegation to the Second Division come season end.
That was to prove Dennisโ final season playing his final game for Villa on Saturday, 3 January 1959 aged 26 before moving on to Millwall United in May 1959 following Villaโs relegation.
Dennis had played under managers Eric Houghton and Joe Mercer.
Dennis passed away in Sandwell on 20 March 2014 aged 82.

On This Day
Shorn of three key players Villa mount a valiant second half fightback against dominant Wolves but cannot avoid a second defeat to their local rivals in three matches. Nigel Sims is once again unfortunately responsible for Wolves' second goal that gave them the breathing space needed.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the second time in three to make it two wins, two draws and five defeats in nine division one games this season.

On This Day
In the first game post Eric Houghton Villa do what seemed impossible a week earlier as his former players, subject to a reshuffle but adding only new forward Ron Wylie, beat third placed Preston. Managerless Villa however remain rock bottom of the first division table.
Managerless Villa record their second win in eight to make it five wins, three draws and eleven defeats in nineteen division one games so far this season.
Meanwhile, forward Ron Wylie made his Villa debut aged 25 after moving from Notts County earlier this month.

On This Day
Two days and two games in Joe Mercer's task is looking even more daunting with two defeats to Manchester United.
Villa end 1958 in torrid form with three successive defeats to make it six wins, four draws and fifteen defeats in twenty five division one games so far this season.
As a result Villa enter 1959 staring relegation in the face with little sign on a fightback being on the horizon.
