23rd
Sept - "The victory was solely due to Woolley's
individual brilliancy, he scored 2 goals. Had he not
been playing the Villa might have lost as easily as they
won. We rarely remember a man doing so much single handed
work for the Villa as Woolley did in this particular
game. He shot his 2 goals whilst running at top speed
and the rapidity with which the ball left his toe on
each occasion was electrifying"

The paper talks in great detail of the suspension of G.Dunning
and J.Reynolds. They both failed to turn up to training
and the reporter gave a damming report of how unprofessional
they were. He writes in one section "They
knew that Athersmith and Woolley being on the sick list..."
