The1893–94 English football season was Aston Villa's6th season in the Football League since its formation. They finished the season as champions for the first time, and for the next few years they would be very much the dominant side of English football, winning a total of fivechampionships and twoFA Cups by 1900.

For the first two of these championship seasons, they were based atWellington Road. Though reporters claimed gates of 20,000, it is not clear how many of these would have been able to see the game!

Villa built up a six-point lead by the end of December and maintained that margin to the end of the season, with onlySunderland providing a serious challenge.

Jack Devey was an all-round sportsman who enjoyed a longcricket career withWarwickshire. He playedfootball for local clubs inBirmingham before joining Villa in 1891. He was capped twice byEngland.

Jimmy Cowan was an attacking centre-half in the days when this was a common tactic. He was well known as a sprinter and won thePowderhall Handicap in 1896. He was just 5 ft 612 in (1.69 m) tall, but his quoted weight of 12 st 3 lbs (77.6 kg) indicates a sprinter’s powerful build.

There were debut appearances for,Len Benwell, George Russell, Jack Reynolds, Jim Elliott, Jimmy Welford, James Gillan, Willie Groves, Steve Smith andBill Randle.[1]
