Albert Wilkes

Albert Wilkes (born Birmingham 10 November 1874, died 12 September 1936) was a football (soccer) player in the early years of professional football in England, who played for Aston Villa from August 1898 to July 1907. Before playing for Villa he played for West Bromwich Albion and Walsall.

The Villa News and Record 1 Sept. 1906

Wilkes instantly experienced success at Villa Park, playing a bit part in the club's 1898–99 title success before establishing himself as a first team regular in their 1899–1900 title victory. He was less fortunate in the FA cup where he found himself part of a Villa side beaten in a famous cup upset by Southern League Millwall Athletic.

He made five appearances for England, between March 1901 and May 1902, scoring the equalizing goal against Scotland in a 2-2 draw at Villa Park on 3 May 1902 - this was the replay of the match that was abandoned as a result of the first Ibrox disaster on 5 April 1902, in which 25 people died and 517 were injured.
