Player #38 for Aston Villa, John Henry Burton, known as Jack Burton played as a midfielder for the club in a position that was then known as a half back. Jack represented Villa between 1885-86 and 1890-91 including the first 3 football league seasons.
Jack was born in Handsworth less than three miles from Villa’s current ground on 19th September 1863 and made his debut as a 22 year old on 17th October 1885.
Villa had signed Jack from Aston Park Unity.
Jack played all of the 10 games in Villa’s victorious 1886-87 FA Cup campaign, including the final at the Kennington Oval that hosted the 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion. Jack scored 2 goals on the way to the final in the 13-0 annihilation of Wednesbury Old Athletic at Wellington Road.
Jack retired from football due to a knee injury but during a retrospective review of his career was described as being a play who was as strong as an ox wing-half and who could kick a ball as hard as any player.
Jack played his entire Villa career under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.
Jack made 28 League appearances scoring in his final season 1890-91 in the 3-1 win over Accrington at Thorneyholme Road on 21st March 1891 which also happened to be his final game for Villa.
Jack passed away on 10th April 1914 in Hockley, Birmingham aged 50.
