Yeltz remember long lost star

Halesowen Town fans can catch up with some key club history and read a fascinating article on one of their most famous former stars.

Yeltz's matchday announcer Dave 'DJ' Johnson has penned a piece for the Evo-Stik Stik NPL First Division South club's supporters on Tommy Smart who went on to become one of their most successful former players after transferring to Aston Villa in 1920.

The Blackheath-born defender remains sixth in the Premier League giant's list of appearance holders and won five England caps but remains largely forgotten so the PA man at The Grove decided it was time to compile a tribute article on the club's official website.

Unlike any modern day professionals, Smart, pictured standing left with other Villa players after finishing their post match bath early, stayed loyal to his Black Country roots and birthplace, ending his footballing days with a two-season spell at Brierley Hill Alliance as player manager after leaving Villa Park in May 1934.
