Around the 1913-14 Season Leicester Fosse Reserves v ? at Filbert Street,
Not holding out too much hope that someone will know who the opposition is (Villa, Burnley kit ?) in these postcards but you never know...

It certainly looks like Aston Villa's kit but I don't have any record of them playing Leicester Reserves in that season.

From the newspaper archives they were in the Central Alliance along with fifteen others (in 13-14) and I reckon unless someone can come across a league handbook, and it has a colours list, they will probably remain a mystery.
