Biography

F John Laidlaw | ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ | #246 |

Player #246 for Aston Villa, John Wallace Laidlaw, played as a forward for the club.

John played for Villa in 1913-14 making 2 appearances.

John was born in Muirkirk, Scotland in December 1891 and he made his Villa debut in the Christmas Day fixture of 1913 aged 22.
