Quick Facts

Aston Villa started the new year having been defeated by Blackburn Rovers meaning that they had a record of DWL in the three post-Christmas fixtures.[2][3] January's bad weather meant the trip to Sunderland was postponed until the end of January[4] Villa lost both matches in the Second City derby, 0–2 away,[5] and 1–3 at home.[6]

During the season Howard Spencer was captain of the club.[2]

In February 1905, after 167 league games, Harry Hadley left West Brom to join Aston Villa for a fee of £250, but played just 11 times before joining Nottingham Forest in April 1906.[7]

There were debut appearances for Charlie Millington, Barney Allen, Harry Hadley, George Garratt, Jock Logan, Joe Walters, Samuel Greenhalgh, John Boden, Joe Hisbent, Arthur Elston, Bert Kingaby, Rowland Codling, and Tom Riley (16).[8]
