Biography
Player #418 for Aston Villa, James Charles Harrison known as Jim and Jimmy Harrison, played as a full back for the club between 1949-50 and 1949-50 making 8 appearances and scoring once.
Well built and hard kicking but also a stylish defender, Jimmy first learned his trade with Leicester schools before joining hometown club Leicester City. Initially a forward, and used as such by Leicester in their 1948-49 FA Cup final appearance, Jimmy was eventually found more often in the left back berth a position he would take up in his single season in the Villa first team of 1949-50.
Jimmy was born in Leicester on 12 February 1921 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 20 August 1949 at the age of 28.
Villa had signed Jimmy from Leicester City in July 1949 for a fee of ยฃ12,000.
Despite the hefty transfer fee Jimmy only played 8 times for the first team scoring once in the away draw with Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, 3 December 1949.
Jimmy played his final game for Villa on Wednesday, 8 March 1950 and in July 1951 moved on to Coventry City having not made another appearance for the club.
Jimmy had played under manager Alex Massie.
Jimmy passed away in Leicester on 19 July 2004 aged 83.

On This Day
Villa prove incredibly unlucky to concede an equaliser to a team they had dominated throughout. The fact that the free kick that led to the goal was allowed to be taken before the whistle and before Villa players could take their positions was even more galling.
Lesser clubs however need to take their chances, however questionable, when they occur, and that is exactly what the visiting Derby side did.
Trevor Ford and Les Smith make it one goal and two assists in the first two games of the season.

Villa need a late equaliser from Jimmy Harrison - although few could see it in the mud bath of Burnden - to take a point and sit 13th in the table under Alex Massie after 19 games.

Villa deservedly take the lead against neighbours Birmingham after an almost permanent first half seige before the City's lesser team luck in with a quick equaliser and Villa cannot make their superiority count.

On This Day
A joke game at Old Trafford as Villa go into the interval one goal down after missing a first half penalty, the referee then awards three penalties to leaders Manchester United and allows an offside goal as Villa suffer their biggest post war loss.
Full back Jimmy Harrison made his eighth and final appearance for Villa before moving on to Coventry City in July 1951.
