Aston Villa played the 1947–48 English football season in the Football League First Division. There were debut appearances for Keith Jones (185), Albert J Brown (30), Albert Vinall (11) and Harry Chapman (6). "Sailor" Brown arrived from Forest in October 1947 for a fee of £10,000, After making 30 appearances and scoring nine goals, he was appointed as Gorleston player-manager in August 1948. In later life Brown did scouting for Villa. A brace by Trevor Ford (120) gave Villa a 2-0 victory over Brentford at Griffin Park. It would be the 2023-24 season before Villa would record their next win away to Brentford. 195.213.125.234 (talk) 18:15, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
