Biography

CB Jack Morby | ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ | #395 |

Player #395 for Aston Villa, John Henry Morby, known as Jack Morby, played as a centre half for Villa in the 1945-46 regional league season making 12 appearances including 3 in the FA Cup.

Jack was born in Wednesfield, just 14 miles from Villa Park, on 1 August 1920 and played in his sole season for Villa at the age of 25.

Joining Villa as an amateur for Villa in 1943, Jack had previously had a trial with Wolves aged 16 whilst playing as an amateur for Hednesford Town before the War.

Jack came into Villaโ€™s senior side in the war-time season of 1943-44 against Stoke City with defensive regular Ernie โ€˜Mushโ€™ Callaghan injured.

Jack went on to hold the centre half position in good hands for many weeks before - in 1945-46 - making his official senior debut by appearing for the Villa first team on 3 occasions in that seasonโ€™s FA Cup.

Jack was also a โ€œlease-lendโ€ player that same season - lining up for Portsmouth for their visit to play Birmingham (soon to be christened โ€˜Cityโ€™) at St Andrewโ€™s.

After his 1945-46 cameo, Jack moved on to non-league Worcester City in July 1948 without having made an appearance in the reinstated football league from 1946-47.

Jack had played in the regional league season under manager Alex Massie.

Passed away aged 88 on 10 May 2009 buried at Wednesfield Cemetery
