knowlegable brummie
Drusilla harper nee Lane was related to bare knuckle fighters the battling brums hammer lane etc, di d her son George Henry Harper living in Wolverhampton in 1901 as a professional football player play for Aston Villa
 
Not as far as I can see Lyn.

The only Harper I can find who played for the First Team was a Richard Rowland born in Lichfield July 1881.

Your Harper could have played for the Villa but not the First Team:)
