Robert Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I am looking for the Aston Villa line-up that defeated West Bromwich Albion 1-0, in the 1895 FA Cup-final. There might be a Canadian connection involved. Thanks in advance, Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Unfortunately, you'll still have to buy a copy of my book, when it's out, to find out why. But I will sign it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary Boomer Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Robert! Are you a Canadian Villa fan? Nice! I bump into them all the time it seems! Poor suffering lot! I'm hoping to make my first pilgrimage to Villa Park in December. Look forward to any new book on the Claret & Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 It's probably more about a book about early Canadian players abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc_soccer_fan Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I found this site http://hem.ektv.nu/~ekt012761/start.html And I checked all those players that played in that game and none of them appear to be Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, you guys are going to have to buy my book to find out what the Canadian connect is. It's clearly not along the lines your thinking of.

bc_soccer_fan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey Robert, this article mentions two Canadians that played in England along time ago, Edward Parry and Walter Bowman. I'm sure you know about them but just in case you didn't I'm just letting you know about them. http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/news/story.jsp?story=611429 A couple more links. http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/index.php?main=news/features/oldfaces.htm article also mentions Scots born Frank Crawley who captained Canada. http://www.englandfanzine.co.uk/teams/index.asp Parry played a few games for England.
