Biography
Player #225 for Aston Villa, James Birch, known as Jimmy Birch played as a centre forward for the club.
Jimmy played for Villa in the 1911-12 season making 3 appearances.
Jimmy was born in Blackwell, Derbyshire in 1888 and made his debut appearance for Villa at the age of 23 on the 21st October 1911, scoring a brace - his only goals for Villa - in the 2-3 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
Jimmyโs only other game for Villa would come in the reverse fixture on 24th February 1912 with Villa once again beaten - this time 0-3.
Villa had signed Jimmy from Stourbridge FC in May 1910.
Despite being a stocky and bustling centre forward Jimmy was just 5 feet 7 inches tall, a relatively small size for a footballer.
Jimmyโs height maybe counted against his selection for the first team given his scoring prowess and value had been well proven through his reserve team performances
However former Villa great Jimmy Cowan saw through the physique and took Jimmy to Queens Park Rangers in June 1912 where he went on to make over 350 appearances and score 144 goals.
Jimmy played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.
Jimmy passed away in London in 1940 aged just 52.

On This Day
Villa suffer successive 0-3 reverses as they succumb to their obligatory annual defeat at the Owlerton.
Villa make it ten wins, seven draws and ten defeats in twenty seven division one games so far this season.
Villa remain joint ninth without a clean sheet in seven games.
Forward Billy Gerrish made his final appearance for Villa aged 27 before moving on to Preston North End in August 1912. Gerrish had made 59 appearances and scored 18 goals across his three seasons with the club with his standout season coming in the title winning campaign of 1909-10 when he hit fifteen goals in 39 games.
Tragically Billy was killed in action - like so many others - in the senseless conflict of WWI aged just 31.
Forward Jimmy Birch aged 24 makes his final appearance having epresented Villa on three occasions before moving on to Queens Park Rangers in June 1912.
