It's worth merging this with the Aston Villa 1904-05 thread where Morris Nelson proves that this is actually a 1899 game. It also has the teams trotting out.So yes probably the oldest ever Villa footage.

blimey and it is very unclear to watch but thankfully we moved on to 4K era assuming you have the hardware.

Well of course it would be. It is from 1904.

But Legion, have you read the other thread where Morris Nelson points out that it has to be earlier than 1904 as Athersmith and Cowan are in it?

Ah.
