Aston Villa played the 1921–22 English football season in the Football League First Division. Villa finished fifth below Burnley, and Cardiff City, just above Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United.
In the first Second City derby in fifteen years, Villa were held to a draw at home [1] and lost the away fixture.[2] In the second match of the season, defender Bert Smith became the first-ever Cardiff player to score in the division with a consolation goal during a 2–1 defeat to Aston Villa.
Billy Walker remains the only player to have scored a hat-trick of penalty kicks in a Football League game, doing so against Bradford City in November 1921.[3] Richard York went on to make 47 appearances in the 1921–22 campaign, as the "Villans" finished fifth in the First Division.[4] There were debuts for Tommy Mort (337), Len Capewell (157),[5] Jock Johnstone (106), George Stephenson (93), Percy Jones (15), George Harkus (4) and Martin Taylor (1).[6]
