Played against Stafford Road G.W.R Works which was the most powerful side in Wolverhampton in those days. Villa drew 1-1 away and won the replay at
Perry Barr 3-2 in season 1879-80 Drawn away at Oxford University, in the next round the 'gentlemen' sported strong elevens with many International players of the day It did not matter however and the Villa 'scratched' A little
known fact that it is deemed a very serious matter as far as the F.A. are concerned with strong penalties nowadays Link up again soon WAK
