The 1926β27 Football League season in English football was Aston Villa's 35th season in The Football League. There were debuts for Billy Kingdon (223), Jimmy Gibson (215), Bill Johnson, Billy Cook (57), and Joe Nicholson (1). [1]
W. J. "Billy" Smith (1893-1957) was a secretary/committee member of Aston Villa F.C. from August 1926 to May 1934. During this time, this was the equivalent of the modern day manager's position.
Dicky York bagged 13 goals in 43 games in 1926β27. In the Second City derby Villa won both home and away. [2] Arthur Dorrell and Billy Walker scored in the 2β1 victory at St Andrews. [3] Billy Cook, George Stephenson and Dicky York (2) scored in the 4β2 victory at Villa Park. [4]
In September 1926 Villa were beaten 2β1 at Anfield. [5] As the Boxing Day fixture approached The Times tipped Villa to beat Sheffield United following the Villains 3β0 victory over Huddersfield. [6] [7]
Right-half Jimmy Gibson [8] played almost 200 games for Partick before a transfer to Aston Villa for a then-record fee of Β£7,500 in June 1927. [9] He made 227 appearances for Aston Villa, during which time they were runners-up in the Football League twice ( 1930β31 and 1932β33) but were relegated in his final season with the club, 1935β36. [10] There were also debuts for Joe Nicholson, Billy Kingdon, Bill Johnson and Billy Cook. [11]
