The magazine *Punch* was critical of the decision to allow competitive football to continue after the outbreak of war. Mr Punch is depicted saying to the footballer "No doubt you can make money in this field, my friend, but there's only one field today where you can get honour".

The 1914–15 English football season was the 27th season in the Football League for Aston Villa.

In September, Villa lost the Birmingham Charity Cup 2-3 to West Brom. In October Villa beat Newcastle. The teams had met 33 times in the league with 13 wins each and 7 draws.

Frank Moss joined First Division club Villa for a £250 fee in February 1914 and made two appearances during the following season, but he had to wait until after the First World War before he could resume his career. During the war, Moss guested for Bellis and Morcom, Aston Park Rangers, Smethwick Carriage Works and Bradford City. Other debuts included Jimmy Stephenson (31), Howard Humphries (20), George Hampton, and Harry Nash (12).
