Arthur Alfred Brown (3 December 1858 – 1 July 1909)[1] was an English footballer who played for Aston Villa in the 1880s.
His initial spell at Villa only lasted a few weeks before he left to join Mitchell St George's.
Two years later, after spells with Birchfield Trinity and Birmingham Excelsior, he re-joined Aston Villa.
"[2] His first England cap came against Ireland on 18 February 1882 when he played alongside his Villa colleague Howard Vaughton.
[4] Brown "seemed set for a lengthy career"[5] but, although he played in the two other 1882 internationals against Wales and Scotland (both of which resulted in defeats) he was never again selected for England.
