(1874–1961) The 1936–37 English football season was Aston Villa's 45th season in The Football League, Villa playing in the Football League Second Division. Aston Villa appointed 54 year-old Jimmy Hogan as their manager in November 1936, following the club's first ever relegation the previous season. Villa board member Frederick Rinder had witnessed Hogan leading Austria to the final of the 1936 Olympics and persuaded him to return to England. Arriving at Villa, Hogan outlined his philosophy: "I am a teacher and lover of constructive football with every pass, every kick, every movement an object."
