Biography

John Roxborough

Player #295 for Aston Villa, John Alexander Roxburgh, played as a forward for the club.

John played for Villa in 1922-23 making 12 appearances and scoring twice.

John was born in Granton, Edinburgh on 10 November 1901 and he made his debut appearance for Villa on 10 February 1923 aged 21.

Villa had signed John from Leicester City in October 1922 and despite a relatively decent scoring return in his short time with the team, he was to move on to Stoke in February 1924 without adding to his appearances in the 1922-23 season.

John had played under the George Ramsay led Management Committee.

John passed away in 1965 aged 64.
