Aston Villa F.C. History
Aston Villa Football Club was founded in Birmingham in 1874. The club with eleven other clubs formed the Football League in 1888. Led by George Ramsey they won five First Division titles and three FA Cups before the turn of the century and another FA Cup in 1905. Their sixth First Division title followed in 1910 and another FA Cup Title in 1913.
Villa started off the post-war period by claiming another FA Cup in 1920. A period of decline followed with the club was relegated to the Second Division in 1936, for the first time in their history. They did not win another trophy until the famous 1957 victory over manchester United in the FA Cup final. In 1961, Villa added to their silverware winning the inaugural League Cup. A new low followed with relegation to the Third Division in 1970.
Villa's fortunes took a turn fro teh better with the appointment of Ron Saunders as coach. By 1975 they were back in the First Division and they also won another League Cup. After a League Cup victory in 1977 and an unpredicted First Division title in 1981, Villa won their first European Cup in 1982.
The Premier League era has not been as kind to Villa, which would mostly be seen in the lower half of the table. They did, however, managed to claim two more League Cups in 1994 and 1996.
In 2006, long term chairman Doug Ellis sold the club to American Randy Lerner. The takeover cost the American entrepreneur an estimated £62.6 million. Villa lost their status as ever-present members of the Premier League in 2016 when they were relegated for the first time since 1987.
