Frank Moss (half-back)

Frank Moss (half-back)

Frank Moss (17 April 1895 – 15 September 1965) was an English footballer for Aston Villa who went on to captain both Villa and England.

Moss joined Villa in February 1914, but had to wait until after the First World War to resume his footballing career. During the war he served in the 4th Lancashire Regiment, and a severe wound to the knee threatened his career.

However he recovered, and when Jimmy Harrop was forced out of Villa's 1920 FA Cup Final side through injury, local lad Moss took his place, helping Villa to a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield.

Villa reached the FA Cup Final four years later, with Moss captaining the side, however they were defeated by Newcastle United in their first final at Wembley.

Both his sons, Amos and Frank junior, played for Villa after World War II.
