"Happy" Harry Hampton, League top scorer

The 1911-12 English football season was Aston Villa's 24th season in the Football League.

Contents

"Happy" Harry Hampton was a prolific goalscorer and scored five goals when Aston Villa beat Sheffield Wednesday 10–0 in a First Division match in 1912. [1] Hampton was joint top goalscorer in the First Division this season. [2] "The Wellington Whirlwind," played as a centre forward for Aston Villa from 1904 to 1920. [1]

In March, Justice A.T. Lawrence established the legality of the football league's retain-and-transfer system with his judgement in the Kingaby case. [3] Former Aston Villa player Herbert Kingaby had brought legal proceedings against his old club for preventing him from playing. Erroneous strategy by Kingaby's counsel resulted in the suit being dismissed. [4]

There were debuts for Dicky Roose, [5] Les Askew, [6] Jimmy Birch, [7] Harold Edgley, [8] Bert Goode, [9] Tommy Weston, [10] Frank Mann, [11] Albert Ralphs, [12] Albert Lindon, [13] Len Richards, [14] Walter Watson, [15] Bill Morris [16] and Wilfred Littlewood. [17] [18]
