[4] Frank Coulton first signed for Walsall Swifts F.C.
Described as a stylish full back, he was a key member of the Aston Villa League defence in the inaugural season of 1888-89 which only conceded 43 goals, the third lowest.
Coulton only missed three League games and one FA Cup tie over the season as Aston Villa finished as runners-up.
As a full-back he played in a defence that achieved one League clean-sheet and kept the opposition to one-League-goal-in-a-match on no less than on nine occasions.
