Took the Selection Committee by storm after a few big matches. As a deadly shot and goal-getter, he achieved quite a remarkable distinction, and probably scored more dazzling goals than any other player of his period. Aimed from almost any range. Slipping through opponents by his smart dribbling and clever feinting, he won position for himself with astonishing celerity. One of the diminishing 'band of brothers' who helped to build up Aston Villa's early fame, and still kindly remembered." The Villa News and Record 1 September 1906 During the 1886-87 season he played in at least 1 friendly. (0 goals) |
