Does anyone have any Knowledge of a publication called the `Midland Athlete` which was in existance between 1879 to 1886, i have been asked by Jeffrey Hughes who`s grandfather was Charlie Hughes who was a Villa player between 1875-1880 who also was the brother of Jack Hughes who scored Villa`s first ever goal in 1874, he is trying to find any match reports that featured his grandfather and the `Midland Athlete` might be a source of such information, if anyone has any info it would be very much appreciated.
 
Hi Mike Thanks for the info, it has been a great help, i will get in touch with the Birmingham Central Library and try and find out if the magazine covers football as well as athletics, i believe it does
