The Evening Mail score update indicates that the half
time score was Derby 2 Villa 1 and the team lineup mentioned
McQueen and not Woolley.
This match needs to be re-checked as i have no record
of it in the Manchester Guardian and Derby played Wolves
in a league match on the 26th October. The Derby Daily
Telegraph will be used to resolve this.

On the front
page in the Notes and News section of the Evening Mail:-
"The death is announced of Albert
Woolley, who for a time played such fine football in
the forward rank of Aston Villa team. Woolley who was
so well coached by Hodgetts never (word unknown) a vigorous
constitution and football did him (word unknown) little
good. Yet his heart was in the game and it is recorded
that almost the last question he asked was
"Have the Villa won at Derby?". The strict regime
of League Football is not for men of Woolley's physique"

Further on before the Sporting Items section:-
DEATH OF ALBERT WOOLLEY
"The death is announced of Albert Woolley, the once clever outside left
forward of the Aston Villa team, which took place at the residence of his parents,
Moss Side., Manchester yesterday morning. Woolley came to the Villa from a junior
club, Park Mills and under the able tuition of Hodgetts rapidly developed into
one of the finest left wing forwards in the country. He was one of the best shots
at goal from an outside position the Villa ever had and quickly became a favourite
with the Birmingham crowd. Unfortunately a chill contracted whilst a student
at Bromsgrove Grammar School, developed into congestion of the lungs and he was
not strong enough to undergo the wear and tear of a severe season of League football.
After leaving Villa , he joined Derby County, but another cold caught in a match
in London revived the old lung malady and a long and painful illness had a fatal
termination yesterday. He received the best attention at his own home, his parents
having removed some time ago from Gravelly Hill to Manchester. Woolley was under
engagement with Derby County until April next. The Aston Villa committee have
been exceedingly kind to him and Woolley never lost his interest in the old club.
Almost the last thing he asked before lapsing into unconsciousness on Saturday
was whether they had won at Derby"

In the Sporting Items section of the Evening Mail:-
"Genuine regret has been
expressed in Derby at the death of A.Woolley and a sad
coincidence in connection therewith is that a deputation
of the County committee went for the purpose of arranging
a little dispute with him the very day he died."

In the Sporting Items section
of the Evening Mail:-
"The remains of Albert Woolley,
the late outside left forward of the Aston Villa football
team, were interred yesterday in the family grave at
the Southern Cemetery at Manchester to which city his
parents had removed from Gravelly Hill. Numerous wreaths
were sent, including very handsome ones in porcelain
from the Aston Villa Committee and the secretary, and
the Aston Villa players respectively and from Mr George
Parrock (or Parrack) and friends at Gravelly Hill with
whom the deceased was closely associated in the cricket
field."
