Biography
F Eli Davis | ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ | #3 |
Player #6 for Aston Villa, Elisha Davis, known as Eli Davis played as a midfielder for the club. Eli made his debut in the 1879-80 FA Cup campaign - Villaโs first entry into the competition.
Eli was born in Dudley, ten miles from the current Villa ground, in December 1855 and made his debut as a 24 year old on the 13th December 1879.
Villa had signed Eli from Wednesbury Strollers and he went on to represent the club for six successive seasons from 1879-80 to 1884-85.
Eli was described in teammate Archie Hunterโs book as:
โAnother special favourite with the spectators โฆ who worked the left wing and was noted for the really wonderful way in which he screwed the ball from the corner with his left foot. As everybody knows, a forward is not much good unless he can take the ball up and centre it in goal, and in doing this Eli excelled. He was a very brilliant and a very sure player.โ
Eliโs final game came on 10th January 1885 having reached a career best 5th Round of the FA Cup in 1882-83. Eli subsequently retired from football aged 29 due to a knee injury.
Eli played in the era when team selection was made by a Management Committee rather than the latter day more typical Manager role which from the 1884-85 season was led by George Ramsey.
Eli passed away in Birmingham on 20th December 1897 aged just 42.
20 December 1897, Aged 42
