Joe Bache
Player #145 for Aston Villa, Joseph William Bache, known as Joe Bache played as a forward for the club.
Joe Bache, was one of the great Villa centre forwards, and served the Royal Garrison Artillery with distinction during the First World War.
Joe represented Villa between 1900-01 and 1914-15 making 470 appearances.
Joe was born in Stourbridge on 8th February 1880 and made his debut appearance for the club as a 21 year old on the 16th February 1901.
Villa had signed Joe from Stourbridge FC.
During his time with Villa Joe won the FA Cup in 1904-05 and 1912-13 as well as the League title in 1909-10.
Joe scored 4 goals in 6 appearances in the 1904-05 FA Cup Campaign hitting the net in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Rounds to vanquish Leicester Fosse, Bury and Fulham.
Joe’s was second only to Harry Hampton’s goalscoring contribution in securing Villa’s league title in 1909-10, their 5th overall.
The Villa News and Record of 1st September 1906 paid contemporary tribute to Joe:
“Gained his honours (during a period not too prolific of star performers) after a series of exceptionally clever displays in club matches for Aston Villa. Seen to most advantage as an inside left. Has a remarkable control of the ball, can dodge with the best, but mass much of his otherwise effective play by his impetuosity in endeavouring to do too much in the zone of the backs. On his day a dangerous shot, but apt to be erratic, as well as a trifle selfish. A good-tempered, brainy player, with some time yet in front of him.”
Joe had played his final game for Villa on 28th April 1915 aged 35 having served the club for 14 seasons.
Joe played his entire Villa career under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.
Joe went on to serve on the Western Front, where he rose to the rank of Lance-Corporal before resuming his playing career with Mid-Rhondda FC.
Joe’s son, whilst not a footballer also had his own cultural effect on the midlands as a designer of some of the most iconic BL cars to run off the local production lines.
Joe passed away in Birmingham on 10th November 1960 aged 80.
