Biography
Player #117 for Aston Villa, James Whitehouse, known as Jimmy Whitehouse, and nicknamed Ripper played as a goalkeeper for the club.
Jimmy represented Villa in 1896-97 and 1897-98.
Jimmy was born in Birmingham, just 3 miles from Villa Park, on the 9th April 1873 and made his debut as a 23 year old on 5th September 1896.
Villa had signed Jimmy from Grimsby Town for ยฃ200 and he went on to represent the club 43 times.
The fee was a record fee for a goalkeeper at the time. In his time with the Villa Jimmy won 2 major trophies - the league and FA Cup double in 1896-97.
Jimmy was the eighteenth custodian of the Villa goal in League and Cup football.
In his 43 games for Villa, Jimmy conceded 59 goals at a ratio of 1.37 goals per game, and kept 12 clean sheets at the time this represented the best performance by a Villa keeper over a run of 10 games or more.
Jimmy played in 22 of 30 of Villaโs games in the 1896-97 Championship winning season keeping 9 clean sheets.
Whilst Jimmy only played twice in the 1896-97 FA Cup campaign one of those was the final, held at Crystal Palace, London in front of 65,891 people, as Villa recovered from a 2-1 deficit to beat Everton, 3-2.
By a twist of fate, as rival teams for the league title were involved in league matches on the afternoon of the 1896-97 FA Cup Final, results meant that Villaโs lead at the top of the table became unassailable.
Therefore, Villa became the only club to have won the League and FA Cup on the same day.
Jimmyโs final game for Villa came on the 30th April 1898 aged 25 after which he moved to Bedminster FC.
Jimmy played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.
Jimmy passed away in Birmingham on the 7th February 1924 aged 50.

Jimmy Crabtree equalises the scoring as reigning Champions Villa secure a second consecutive, and much more convincing, victory over lowly Blackburn - the team that had surprisingly beaten the Champions earlier in the campaign. As a result Villa go level on points at the top of the table having played a game more than fellow leaders Sheffield United.

Fred Wheldon opens the scoring from the penalty spot early in the second half but the League leader's Cunningham equalises in the 80' minute before hitting a last minute winner to beat Villa on their home patch.
Reigning Champions Villa make it back to back losses to title rivals Sheffield United despite playing front of a record crowd. As a result Villa tumble back to joint 3rd place in the League - their lowest placing of the season to date.

In an end to end game Villa and Derby create myriad chances but a goal on the stroke of half time hands the home side the advantage as they secure the points in the second half.
George Ramsay's reigning Champions' title defence really comes off the rails as they suffer a third consecutive defeat - for the first time since October 1892 - make it no wins in 6 games, and fall back to 5th in the table 7 points behind leaders Sheffield United, having played a game more and with just 8 League games remaining.

On This Day
Steve Smith opened the scoring as owing to their lack of participation in the FA Cup, reigning champions Villa play this game one month after their last match against Preston.
The break however had seemed to so them good as they swept aside a Derby side who had beaten them twice prior to the hiatus.
In doing so Villa had won two consecutive games having failed to win in the previous 7 games but dropped to 5th in the table, eight points off first place but with two games in hand.
