• 13 - Gabriel Agbonlahor (2005-06 – 2017-18)
Johnny Dixon (1946-47 – 1958-59)
• 11 - Charlie Athersmith (1890-91 – 1900-01)
John Devey (1891-92 – 1901-02)
Allan Evans (1977-78 – 1987-88)

In there by the skin of his teeth thanks to one goal in each of the past 2 seasons.

How quickly did we switch Evans to centre-half?
-
In first-team terms, almost immediately.
-
He hasn't scored in 2017/18 yet. The derby isn't until October. All the names on that list could justifiably be considered club legends apart from that fat wanker. A catalogue of disastrous seasons and lack of fortitude on the part of the leadership of the club have led him to be in that exalted company. Nothing more.
-
Do we have any stats for own goals in successive seasons? Surely Dunne and Keown would feature.

Didn't he score against Hull in the first game of the season?
-
Yes, think he scored from an El Mohamady ball in.

Oops. I stand by everything else I said though.

How could you forget, it was only the other week and we're hardly goal machines.
-
Gabbys average over those 13 seasons is less than 6 goals a season .
Shocking that he is still worshipped by so many Villa fans

I don't think I'm being greedy in expecting more than that average from a central defender.
-
Eric Houghton beats them all with 16 successive seasons (1930-31 to 1945-46) if you include war league years.

Apart from Benteke and Kodjia most of our strikers have struggled to get 6 goals a season in the last few years! Absolutely woeful!

Derek Mountfield as well.
