Jack Whitley

Player #150 for Aston Villa, John Whitley, known as Jack Whitley played as a goalkeeper for the club.

Jack played for Villa in the 1900-01 and 1901-02 seasons making 11 appearances in total.

Jack was born in Seacombe, the Wirral on 20th April 1888 and made his first appearance for the club as a 21 year old on 20th April 1901.

Jack was the twentieth custodian of the Villa goal in League and Cup football and made 3 league appearances in 1900-01 as Villa finished 15th, results improved in 1901-02 as Jack made 9 starts and helped Villa to an 8th place finish.

In his 11 appearances, Jack conceded 22 goals at a ratio of 2 goals per game despite having kept clean sheets in 4 of his starts.

Villa had signed Jack from Darwen before he moved on to Everton however it wasn’t until 6 years later that Whitley found regular game time - playing over 125 games for Chelsea between 1907 and 1914.

Jack had played his Villa career under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.

Jack passed away in London in 1953 aged 73.
