First-class cricketer [2] and England football international, Jack Devey was Captain. Denny Hodgetts also captained the team.[3]

Frederick Rinder had become the club's financial secretary in 1892, and set about installing turnstiles at Villa's Perry Barr ground. Gate receipts immediately increased from £75 to £250. He introduced many other good business practices to the club. It was his idea to make Aston Villa a limited company. Rinder would later be known as the 'Grand Old Man of Aston Villa'.
