An extreme hat tip to pre-Premier League football. The “good ol’ days”!! Both of these games were overseen by our longest serving manager, George Ramsey.
Blackburn Rovers 0 Aston Villa 3 – 1904
One of the final few games from the 1903/04 season which Aston Villa finished 5th.
Preston North End 2 Aston Villa 0 – 1905
This game, from the 1905/06 season in which Villa finished 8th, was played on what would eventually become Armistice (Remembrance) Day. Yes, it’s almost mind boggling that the footage here pre-dates the First World War by at least 9 years!!
Amazing how little Ewood Park has changed!

Looks like keepers still wore the same colours as outfield players then.
